It is a short bed styleside 57 F100. I'm using an S-10 4x4 frame as my original frame is long gone and I wanted a lowered truck with all wheel drive capability. It looks like I have plenty of room for any tire I want clearance wise. I'm just wondering about the proportions of the big wheels in the old fenders.

I don't really like the huge wheel and small profile tire look. 20s with a 55 or 60 series tire look really good on modern trucks however. I have been searching the web but haven't seen any fridges with wheels that large. 18s might end up be a better choice. The guys at the local tire store are willing to help as much as they can but I would hate to order wheels that fit but just don't look proportional to the old truck. It's going to be critical to how this thing turns out!
