Re: Stock height on tires 67-72's only
Common tire/wheel sizes back then were 7.00-15 (half ton) and 7.50-16 (3/4 ton).
So about 29" and 31" respectively since the tires were just about "square" or equivalent to "/100" today.
At least that's what I remember, but of course a lot of half-tons just had passenger car tires.
I'm not sure why you say those tall narrow bias ply ties are not practical for street miles, because folks drove all over the country on them probably millions of miles back then.
