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.

Everytime i see either your truck or one of his, especially that wrecker, i cant help but admire. Ive got a thing for tow trucks i guess, trucks that are built to work and carry a purpose.
