Do you want to run a narrow tire, like was on it originally, or would you like to
run a wider tire, if so, how wide ?
Also 1966 was the last of the Ford pickup wheels to have the "innie" hubcap mount
tabs and '40 to '66 pickup hubcaps fit these wheels. !967 thru 1996 Ford 1/2 ton
pickup wheels have the "outie" hubcap mounting tabs for a 10 1/4" hubcaps.
1967 thru 1996 Ford 1/2 ton pickups commonly have 15" wheels, and generally
speaking, the wheels from the late 60's to early 70's commonly have 5" and 5 1/2"
wide wheels, and generally the newer you go, the wheels get wider. So 80's and 90's
wheels will usually have 6" to 6 1/2" wide wheels on Ford 1/2 tons.

I believe the early '66 rims were about 5" wide and that would be fine. I definitely want to use my original center caps. So whatever tire would fit on a 5" rim would be great.
