Re: 68 tire size ??
On my 68 I am running the 4x4 rally's with p245/60R15 up front with p255/70R15 out back. The 255s are real close to the same diameter as the stock 235/75r15 but fit the 8" wide rim better. My truck is lowered 5" in front and 6" out back. I can't post pics from my phone but you can check my picture album in the meantime till I post pics on Monday.

Re: 68 tire size ??
235/70/15 front and 255/70/15 rear if you want to fill the fenders up. Any 60 series tires with a 2/3 drop is gonna look kinda gimpy. Make sure you buy the drop you want, not by measuring how it sits now. The original springs have sagged quite a bit over 42 years.

Re: 68 tire size ??
I actually prefer 275/60r15 out back but, a little wider looks better in my opinion, but the 255/70r15 are what were on the rims when I bought them. A lot of people like the look and stance, I get positive comments all the time.

Re: 68 tire size ??
Here is my 72 with the 235/70r15 all the way around. It has a 5/7 drop. Not wide enough tire in the rear in my opinion.
