How tall of tire???

How tall of tire would have been stock on a 67 4x4 I am restoring mine and never kept tract of the tire size before I threw mine out. Maybe some one has a larger size that they have fit in the opening of a stock height truck that they could share a picture of as well. Thanks in advance John

Re: How tall of tire???

There were options.Do you have anything listed on the SPID?What I see in the picture looks like 16" wheels,if they are what`s on it now.The size would be 7.50-16.The closest radial would be a 235/85-16.The most common 15" size was H78-15 which is about a 235/75-15.
