Re: Any suggestions on a tire size
I didn't even notice that the wheels were six lug but going to 15 inch rims sure would open up the tire options for you and let you run a taller tire that is more compatible with the rear axle gears That chart that I showed in post nine shows the rpm in different gear ratios for the tires you plug in at the bottom . It might cost some to change rims but getting a taller tire on that truck will cut down engine speed and save a bunch of engine wear and a lot of gas.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
