1946 Ford Half Ton Tire Size

I recently bought a Ford 1946 Half Ton. Anyone knows what size of tires came with that truck?

Thanks.

First, welcome to the forum. Glad to have you.

While I'm better on the '48-'52s, the books say that half ton '46s and '47s used the exact same 16" x 4.5" Kelsey Hayes wheel as the later trucks. Ford part number is 8C-1015 and K-H part number is 31283. That being the case, the optional tires were either a 6.00 x 16 or 6.50 x 16.
