235/75R15 specs at 27.11" overall diameter.

Tallest optional tire originally was a 7-17.5, which had an approximate overall diameter of 31.75". I've never seen mention of a 7-17.5" spare tire restriction.
Interesting question.

Thanks for the replies.
1963c-10, do you have pictures of the spare on the truck. And what wheels are you running.
