Tire load index
I searched the web and this site and google didnt show me anything even close to what i am looking for. Google Sucks! But thats another story.
I am wondering if anyone knows the factory tire load index for a 1978 F150 Ranger long bed?
Is a 114T good enough?

That sounds like a speed rating... 114T should be plenty. Below is an explanation of these ratings. Lots of other info on the Tire Rack site.
In general an F150 would need a "4 ply rating" minimum. Pick a tire recommended for light trucks with at least a 4 ply rating in reasonable size and you should be fine from a "rating" standpoint. A 6 ply rating would give a some more reserve load capacity at the expense of ride. 8 ply rating would be harsh on a 150.

Any tire in a LT size will be a 6 ply at least. And will be plenty. 114 is more than enough. Anything above 90 would be sufficient to drive around on.
If you want to haul a lot, look for 105+
