There should be a label inside on the door or jam. And the tires should have a MAX number.

door jamb is from a 73 f100, the chasis a 79 f350 4x4 as said above.So what is specified in the jamb probably wont match up.

max tire pressure is 65, i have tham all at 50 now.

The tire pressures in the '78 owners manual vary based on width of the tire and the GVW rating of the truck. Granted, they did not make a 4WD F-350 in '78. If you post the actual tire size and the GVW, I can give you a rough idea of Ford's recommendations. Tire pressures range anywhere from 45 to 75 psi.
