new guy here....

howdy all.

Ive been looking to buy a solid/decent ol' Chev truck for a few years now... Actually buying a local farm truck ('65 c10) 3 summers ago, but after getting through the mechanicals, I just realized it was far too gone structurally to be worth my time. Minnesota= ROAD SALT

Finally pulled the trigger on this one. Its out of Little Rock, Arkansas and is really in good shape. Just the typical front fender/door bottom rust.

This one is also a '65. In 1975 the guy replaced the 6 cyl/3spd with a crate 350/350 combo. He also installed power steering/tilt column out of a chev van. Overall a decent job. Im sure the thing was pretty sweet back in the day. Ive got the original log book, and the guy took meticulous records.

Engine is now pretty tired, but still moves the truck down the road ok. When $$ permits, Ill get to the drive train, but for now the wife and I are just going to enjoy it.

I do intend to do a mild drop and install some larger wheels. Nothing too crazy. Probably just coil springs.

My first "newbie" question is: (insert drumroll)

What is the largest tire (width and height) I dare go with say at 2" front/ 4" rear drop? I'm still trying to figure out what size and style rims to look for, but as long as I know maximum tire size, that will give me a good idea what to look for.

thanks in advance!
