    I don't remember off-hand what the original sizes were but they used pretty skinny tires back then.

    I had a 69 A-108 that had stock tires/wheels on it. I ran a P205/70R15 and it was pretty much was similar to what was used back then.

    here ya go... depending on your gvw: 4600# gets 7.75X15 4 ply on 15X5 wheels, 5200# gets 8.15-15 8 ply on 15X5.5 wheels. This is out of dodge truck brochure that I got from auto lit off ebay. Try kcwheelandcovers on ebay for some stock "dog dishes"

    Those were kinda narrow,by todays standards.I'm sure they were bias-ply also.Coker Tire in Chattanooga carries a whole line of old issue tires and white walls for the antiquers.
    I just wanna ride around with the Maytag repairan uniform on. Haaaa! Better not,might get hauled off in white coat with strings on the sleeves for sure.
    See ya.
