I would look into getting power steering. A friend of mine picked up a '58 with a Flaming River manual rack just last Friday and its a bear to steer at low speed. He has a small block Chevy so it will easy to add a belt driven pump and replace the rack.

Rim's..... the truck has 225/60-15's all round but his back spacing is enough to bring the edge of the tire within and inch of the fender.
