Lancaster? How come we've never met?

Sorry, don't know the answer to the question.

I don't have the data specifics for you - but I do know that it would depend on the size of rims that were ordered on the truck.
Realize that a buyer could order 15" or 16" diameter rims, and tubed and tubeless styles, and split rim and non-split rim.

What rim style / size are you looking to put tires on?

I do not know the factory specs on the tire size but I think many guys run 235/75/15 as a similar replacement.....

G-78/15 tires the newer version is probably around 205-75/15. Yeah, they were skinny tires.

Too bad they don't make 85 series 15 tires, 75 series are just not as tall as the period 7.00-15 bais ply truck tire.

You can have a radial that is sized 7.00-15

They are not cheap and they are Yokohama, but they look very original and handle very nicely.
