You can't buy stock tires for that truck anymore. They were something like F78 16.5. If you have 16" wheels, use 235/85 R16.

I found brand new 7.50 x 16's
Does F78 = 7.50?

Something like that. I don't know the exact size. Watch those tires though, they could be bias ply tires. You really want radials on your truck.

Sold

Yes I sold it.Owned it 18 years.Got a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Being loyal to the big blue oval I bought a 1970 F350 flat bed.360/4speed.Same as no rust.VGC for its age.Daily driver.
No "check engine"light
I'm going backwards in time.Good for my soul.
Merry Christmas.
