I will probably go with a radial tire on my truck because it will see a lot of socal highway. Thinking of a 33x10.5R15 or a 285/75R16 depending on what rim diameter I end up with. Most likely an 8" wide rim. Not sure on offset yet, might keep the offset similar to stock, or keep the backspacing similar to stock for a wider stance.
Thank you,7.50by 16, i dont do much highway with a 4.57 gear ratio

Yours should mount the same way, i had to meausure from mounting location top, bottom then go to a place here where i live and give them the meauserments and they figured out what shocks i should have for the right travel of the shocks.TONY SMITH on stovebolt might be ab le to give you a correct part no for shocks.4-5-6-chevy trucks is what he goes by. If you need help with any other thing or if i can help with parts pm me,ill give you my phone no.

Your truck is exactly what I was thinking of doing with my '62 GMC. Same color, Stock look. It looks better than I could have pictured in my head. Amazing truck!
