As soon as its warm, I'll be rehabilitating my C2500. Need it to tow my car projects. It'll be tons of fun for this as it's "full manual" as opposed to "full power" (at least there's less to break...).Anyway, some research awhile back led me to tink original split rim 16x6 wheels were replaced with '73 and later 16.5x6.5 wheels. With manual steering, I'm trying to figure out whether to go for the 8.75 or the 9.5 Firestone radials to replace the old bias belteds. Opinions?
