I know of somebody with a 79 and a 4" that has 38" tires. Not sure it he has a body lift or not.

with no fender trimming, not much more than a 37-38, if you are willing to trim the bottoms of the fenders then you can fit more tire

Id say 38s...But hey fender trimming looks cool....I use an old set of Ford Fender flares for a Stencil to get the design right...Nothing worse then a square hack Job....

I have 40s on my 78 F150 with minor fender trimming in the front and none in the rear and no lift at all, looks pretty stout!
