factory tire size

Hey everyone,
What was the factory tire size on a 76 era C10? I'm asking cause I just put in a new autometer mechanical speedo and I want to make sure my tires are close to factory for correct speed. btw, it has 15 " rims, and overall height is 27 inches, 295/ 70 series tires

Should be a 235/75R15.

295/70 seems like it would be awfully tall.

Re: factory tire size

The 76 sales brochure says standard tire is a G78-15. That is just about a P215/75R15 or a P225/70R15 going by a conversion chart...
