Do you have power steering? How strong are you? Keep in mind that the wider tires here harder and harder to steer manually. Just a caution.......

I was running 235 70/15 on the front of my 64 with no ill effects. I know the 66 uses twin beams but you should still have plenty of room. Out back, I think you will fit 50 series tires since you have a stepside bed.

I fitted 245/75/15s on my 66 F100 and they do not rub at all. This is on an 8j rim. Steering is also easy enough.
