Help with 7.00X17 tires, Budd wheels, '39 3/4 ton followed me home

Neat truck. I am no help on the tires, but FYI, that is a Tonner, not a 3/4 ton. 3/4 ton used 16" wide five wheels similar to 37-39 cars and 1/2 ton (wheels were wider and not scalloped).

On a side note, does anyone have a complete 39 Tonner rear end and brakes? I have a friend with a 38 tonner who want to convert it to hydraulic brakes. Looks like he will need a 39 rear end to do it.
