If its a 77.5 lowboy, you can run 33x12.50x16.5 and have no troubles unless you really push it off roading, then the front fenders top edge might rub a bit.
I run that set up on my silver 77 plus a JC Whitney add-a leaf on the front to level it a bit and keep that from happening.
I would guess 35's might fit, but would be really tight on the front end though

Additionally, because your truck looks about the same height as mine I'm going to assume for now 33x12.50R16.5 will work. However, I'm afraid to buy any used tires with rims until I find out what the differences are in heights between the different models (i.e., low boy, high boy, etc).
Thanks.

I just did some research and I wish I would have done that before I did the above post. I now know there is a lot of differing opinions about what the differences are between a lowboy and a high boy.
The other thing is, 77 & 79 gave me enough info to work with when he said, "if its a 77.5 lowboy, you can run 33x12.50x16.5". That's what I needed to know.
Thanks to everyone for helping me out on this.
