I have run a lot of 1 ton dually Fords. I had one with 16.5s. Several things to be careful of, older Fords had coined rims. DO NOT mix coined and uncoined rims! bad things happen, like wheels falling off, sheared lug studs and loads scattered across highways. One truck had coined rims one side, uncoined on the other, no problem. What size tire you install will be another issue. I wanted a high load rating, so went with 235-16s. With a heavy load, the duals rub, so it was necessary to put spacers between the tires. As I understand it, the 16.5s were used where brake drum clearance was a problem. Chevy dump I had needed 16.5s. 16.5s are still around, but you may have to order them. Last set I got went on a 56 Ford 3/4 ton. When I got it, it had all tires different. The spare was a 14, one 15, one 16, one 16.5 and one 19 iirc. Took it to the local Coop for tires. Tire guy had a fit. I didn't know they were unmatched until he had them off. Found a set of 16.5 rims that day for it. Best of luck.

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
