I stand corrected on the modern size, the 235/75-15 is correct, I guess I have 85 series on the mind from the one ton.

They may not have been and there's no way for me to know being that I was 7 at the time. But I've seen a number of trucks with 225s on them and they just don't look right. I had an 81 F100 that had the 235s as a stock tire. Those are the reasons I assumed it was the stock size.

I wound up using the 235/75 r15's. I only replaced the fronts with good used ones because the back tires which are still 60s are still in jam up shape. I figured since the back ones are still good they should wear out together. When they all wear out I will put new 235/75 r15s all the way around. I would also like to thank everyone for there help.
