Tire Size

I have a 1973 F-350 Camper Special Pick-up Truck and would like to know what size tires came on this truck? They are 16.5" dia. wheels but I don't know their width. What would be the best tire sizes to put on it? The wheels are stock and I'm hauling a big cab-over camper.

I know my '78 F250 camper special has 9.5, 16.5 tires on it. Not 100% sure if they would be the same for the 350 but I am sure it was a option.

I would run a 31 x 10.50 but that is me. I would get E rated tires though.

Thanks for the help. My choice for tires are somewhat limited due to what is available in the 16.5" wheel.

I have Ford sales brochure that lists the F250/350 Camper Special package as having tires, tubeless 8.75x16.5 E.
GVWR three listings 8ooo/8200 95000 10,000. or tube type 7.50x16E.
