The 7.00/16's aren't made anymore. It also had different (non original lockring style) on the rear duals. Bauer Built looked at it and said that the 7.50/16 should be fine since the only real difference is the height of the tire. They recommended this over switching to the newer sizes because of the duals in the rear. So I *should* be ok there. I'll take a look at the date codes on the rims too.
By the way-this truck is a hoot to drive. It runs out beautifully and turns lots of heads. I have even had my first offer to buy it...naw, I'll keep it around for 30 or 40 years.
