A 7.50x16 (7.50R16LT) crosses over to a LT235/85R16 tire.

If your truck is an F100 this has 15 inch 5 bolt wheels. Where as an F250 has 16 inch 8 bolt wheels.

The second gas tank was an option and not part of the camper spwcial package. Mine does not have a factory second gas tank. Just an aftermarket addon we did 30 years ago.

From my lurking and learning here the camper special was offered in the F100 platform and not in the F350 as there were no F350 pick-ups.

Maybe Bill (numberdummy) will chime in as to further clarification of the camper special and the platforms it was offered.

There were F100 camper specials in 67. Not sure if they came with 16" wheels though. I put LT285/75R16's on my F250 (8 bolt pattern). That's as big as you can possibly go on a 16" wheel. I had to trim about a 1/2" of metal on the front bottom corner of the fender to keep it from rubbing on turns. Looks way cool though filling up those wheel wells.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I will be able to find those tire sizes for cheaper than what I have been seeing.
