Camper specials

The F-250 camper specials did not come with a Dana 60 It was a Dana 61. They either had 3:07 or 3:31 ratio.

I have a question that is relevent here.

Has anyone with the 4x4 f250 camper special put on a tire they like for all around either a 16.5 or a 16 and had a camper, towed a boat say 20'.

I'm looking at a bf goodrich 295/75/16 all terrain but am more than curious what you guys have found.

Will the 16" rim fit with those big brakes?

And is on line the place to buy tires or should a person stay local?

This is not my daily driver and I want a good all around tire something to do fairly good offroad wear good and still have the ability to handle a load without squating too much.

Is this too much to ask?

I have that rad on my 460, and I think I know where to get a shroud. Problem is the shipping will probably be bad!
Big bad rad, aren't they? I took mine out today and compared to my 351M rad... HUGE difference in size!

It is in Calgary. Never looked too closely at the condition, though...
If you want, I can try to go in the next few days to see if the truck is still there at all?
