Re: original stock tire size
Probably 7.50-16 or 7.00-16 bias ply tires. 235/85/16's are really close, just a little bit wider.

Re: original stock tire size
so what about c10 67? Is the 7.5/15 equal to 235/75/15 ? I remember a buddy putting on G60's on a 67 back in the 80s and it was like a 4" drop(ha, ha) but the original bias seemed taller than 235/75/15's.

Re: original stock tire size
Are the 16's split rims?

Re: original stock tire size
My truck had 16" split rims on it and all the tires were 7.5-16's. They were about 31 or 32" tall. The 7.5-15's should be about the same height.

235/75/15 = 29" 235/85/16 = 31.7" (or 31.8") Bias ply not listed but IIRC, 7.50-16 = very close to 32"
