Universal Tire has 7.50 x 16s that were factory optional tires on your truck. Stu

Yes. They were the biggest optional tire size offered on F-2s, while an F-3 with the same chassis came stock with 7.50 x 17s. And guys that can find them run the 8-19.5" or 8R19.5" tires on the tubeless Budd #71410 19.5" x 5.25" wheels. You have what looks like a D60 axle, but the WMS-WMS distance looks to be the same as on a Timken. Stu

Yes, but it's a similar rim profile. Newer wheels have rims with additional safety humps on each side that are designed to keep the tire on in case of a flat. But your stock wheels have the same 5° bead profile. The others that have used one or the other can speak to their likes/dislikes, but I've found nothing online that makes a compelling case against radials on older car or light truck rims. Stu

I had radials on my 54 after I had it painted and fixed up in 1999. It rode smoother and took bumps a lot better..... But it was a bear to steer. I needed a pair of new tires for state inspection I put bias ply on the front. Now it steers very very easy even when parking or sitting still! And new bias tires are made better than bias of years ago.
