My dad only ran “Super King” tires which were a tube type bias ply commercial version of Gumbo Mudders. I ran an old worn out set from the wrecker on my K10 in the late 90's for a while in college and they are definitly smaller than Q78's I currently run.
Here are a two crummy pictures of them.
Picture from around 1981 or so.
Picture from around 1989 or 90.
Still have the truck today and still wearing a very old dry rotted set of Super King 9.00 x 16’s today although the truck has been parked since 1997.
