The wheels are after market and were a popular add-on for those of us who carried heavy cab over campers. I put them (along with 12 X 16.5 tires) on mine in 1970 expressly for that purpose. They were still on (picture below) when I started the restoration in 2010.

RPO R79 or RR2 got you the 10.00x16.5 tires on 8.25x16.5 wheels in 1971 if they were factory installed. R79 included highway tread tires and the RR2 was for on/offroad tires. Not seeing them on the SPID, chances are they were added by either the body upfitter that installed the service body, the dealer when the service body was installed or by the previous owner.

I didn't see it answered , but the service bed does appear to be from the era

...it's the same brand as the one on my '68 (which like yours was ordered as a 'cab and chassis' so likely on there since day one)

Nice truck by the way

His SPID/Model Number indicates it was ordered as a fleet side.
