Does anyone know the mfg and tire size of tires that came stock on the C10 from the assembly plant?

most vehicles didn't come with the std tire specified as most tires were upgraded by dealers when they were ordered except for the cheapest basic truck which more than likely was the $1695.00 special that was priced to be less than all the others
all other tires were optional and price raised accordingly

like on 3/4 the 7-17.5 may have been designated as the basic tire and wheel and they may have been the cheapest, but the most common tire seen on then was the 7.50 x 16. some of this could also have been regional designation as 7-17.5 are not common in this part of the country but may have been popular in the prairies (better in the winters)
