tire conversion

Got a 65 Ford F350 Stakebody. I'd like to replace bias ply tires with radials. Anyone know the conversion for 7.50 x 16LT? Also thinking about replacing radiator. Tubes inside core are leaking. Does anyone know where to get one?

They make radial 7.50 16's. 235 85 R 16 are really close.

Check with your neighborhood radiator repair shop. Many times they are able to take a leaking radiator, remove & re-use the top and bottom tanks and install a new core in-between.

We took it to a local radiator shop and they said they couldn't get a core for it. The price they gave for a new one was $392. I'm sure we can find one at a better price somewhere. Thanks for the advice.
