The wheels are stock GM 16 x 6.5" steel wheels that were available on a bazillion GM trucks troughout the 70's and 80's. The tires are somewhat strange though. They are 255 85 R16 BFG M/T KM's. The size is what drew me to them as I was able to use them on a 6.5" wheel. The dimensions come out to be about 33 x 10. This was perfect--tall and skinny, ready to go on my "old man" wheels. They went on, but even with the hubcaps, the truck lost the "old man" image. That image is gone, but I think it still looks cool, just in a different way.

HAHAHA! We think alike. 250,000+ mile motor in a 25,000- mile truck (Dodges). Yeah, I found that size tire a while ago, it is rather odd. Just about everything I've found in that size is a mud terrain, Toyo has a couple models (M-55 & Open Country MT) in it. I really like tall & skinny tires, I think they look good, perform better, and put less stress on the front end parts.

I am familiar with those wheels, I've got two sets + the original spare for my '83 (still has the original 215-85R16E tire on it too). Good choice on hubcaps too. I really like the Spicer hubs hanging off the D60, where did you find those?
