Stock wheels?

Does anyone know what kind of tires and wheels would have been on a 1978 F150 Trailer Special?

Probably 15x6 but this addresses '74. Not sure much changed by '78 as my '85 E150 had 15x6 wheels.

Brochure from same thread:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post18062513

This is from the '73-'79 MPC. This was the era of the short-lived "Letter" sizes, like G78, H78, J78, L78 x 15, all of which are listed. There are L78C & D listed as well. Note both 15 x 5.5 and 15 x 6 wheels are listed. R in the size denotes radial tires. Some other sizes in there including the older 6.50 and 7.00s as well as a 15x8 wheel with a 10x15 tire. And one 16x5 too. A real mix throughout this time period.
