Tire size
Looking for input on a tire swap for my '68 F250. I'd like to go as tall & wide as possible. Truck is stock height with 16X7 rims. Will a 265/70(or 75)/16 tire work without clearance issues ? Thanks !!

Two or four wheel drive? Assuming four, as you mentioned stock height.
I would think a 265 is the widest you'd normally go on a 7" wheel. The tire manufacturers will list rim width recommendations on their sites. As does tirerack.com I'm sure.
I like the 265 width myself. Kind of an 11.50 if you will. Wider than a 10.50, but narrower than a 12.50. Hopefully it will fit the truck. Not sure myself, but I'm sure others will know.
