I did a quick check and the stock tires for your 86 C-10 were
225/75/R15 at 28.3" tall or a 235/75/R15 at 28.9" tall

In a size 22" you have
255/30/R22 at 28" tall or a 285/30/22 at 28.7" tall, this leaves you with about a 2-1/2" or 3" side wall and both of these are a wide tire and could cause problems.

There are lots of 22" tires, these are based on filling up the wheel well.

You might want to check out the 20" for more side wall...Jim
