Hello all & What Wheels Will Fit 69?

Hello all. I am new to the board. Sure is a lot of info here. Very nice.

I just bought my first chevy truck. I have wanted one for years but never found the right one, that I could afford, anyway.
I just bought a 69 1/2 ton longbed. Needs work but has very good bones.

My first priority is to get some wheels on it as it still has the stock wheels and hubcaps. I have not brought it home yet so I dont know what size wheels will fit. It has the stock 6 lug drums with leaf springs in the back. I would like to go with 15X8 or 10. If anyone knows offhand if these would be ok please let me know.

I am also curious about the leaf springs. I thought the 69 1/2 tons had coils. Not all of them? Any info would be appreciated.

I must say this board is very inspiring. There are alot of nice trucks out there. Thanks for your time, Chad

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

Welcome aboard!

15x10's will work just fine, then again it all depends on your particular application and what future plans you may have for it.
I'm also guessing it's not a 4x4????
