Need help w/ tire size
I am planning on installing at least 31/10.50/15 on my 72 lwb. Would 33/12.50/15 fit comfortably? Suspension has new coil springs and shocks and is not lifted. Does anyone have profile pics of their trucks with these tire sizes?

the 31's fill the wheel wells up on a 2wd model..Not sure but I think you might have problems with any larger. Not sure about a 4x4 though.
I had tested for size on my 70 with the 31's and I think I would have rubbed occassionally if I pushed it hard, but mine is original springs and old shocks.

The 33's will not fit without some modifications and possibly even a lift. However the 31's will fit.

Agreed on the 31's. 33's will fit on a 4x4 OK. I like the 265 75 16 on my truck which are almost same size as the 31 10.5's.

My truck is near stock height, except for overloader shocks in the rear. Tires are 31X10.5X15, pics in the link below.
