Re: New Tires: black wall or raised white letter?

I have BFG Commercial tires (23585R16) on my 83 C20 - black wall. 3/4tons need load range D (mostly E is what you find now), so they cost more $$ to begin with. I find the paint of white letters wears off after a while, especially if you get some curb rash. Plus, if you have white letter tires you must put them on Cragar SS mags

Re: New Tires: black wall or raised white letter?

Just put white letters on 06 Express Van silver steel 8 lug non spoke wheels with the center cap and trim rings on my 75 C20 longbed. Looks good to me. I agree with the concept of "period correct". I was around in the mid 70s, and white letter tires were the only "cool" way to go when those trucks were new.
