This summer I am starting to restore my Grandpas 1985 F150 2WD. Already got some new front fenders and scored a new box now. I need to get some new tires that hold air on it so I can wheel it around for now, I need a safety so I cant really drive it anywhere at the moment which is a pain.


Anyways I found these used tires fore sale and they are 265/75R15. Will these fit on a stock truck on the factory rims? Or are they too big?


Second question, my signal light switch has to be held down to work when signaling to the left, is this just the mechanism inside the steering column that is broke? Anyone know where to get one other then LMC? I love LMC for the amount of stuff they have but there shipping costs to Canada don't even make sense, I like to use them as a last resort.


As I go along I am sure I will have many more questions. Looking forward to joining the community.

Also does anyone know how many bolts hold each front fender on? Gives me a place to start at least.

I dont know exactly how many bolts but dont forget the bolt on the inner fender you have to open the door and get a long extention

Hardest bolts will be the ones at the bottom front that hold the stone shield and the little baby ones that hold the inner fender.
The turn signal sounds like the piece inside the column.
265's should fit - they'll go right on the back, the front you might have a clearance issue with the bumper unless you lift it up a bit. Usually the front is lower anyway so some better front springs would probably solve the problem and look and ride better too.
Yeah, shipping to Canada pi$$es me off too.
