Hi Dave. If your tires are 7.50x16, then they are bias ply non radials. All radials start with R, such as R-235/75-16. There were tubless bias ply tires, but most trucks 3/4 ton and up had tubes due to the split rims. Thanks, Lyman.

Just being a 7.50x16 does not make them bias, but if there is no R in the designation, then they are bias like stated before.
No, not all of them have/had tubes, it was just an option you had being there was no steel belts to possably puncture the tubes. FYI, you can still get 16.5's in bias construction from Sears. THey have to order them, but they actually still sell these old things. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350.
