Dodge 3 Ton GS

What a nice truck that is in the link you provided, very desirable I must say. I am pretty sure it’s a D60 L with 5P1 body.
As regards the tyres the ones fitted look like modern 10.50.16 Eastern block tyre that is available both here in the UK and in Europe at reasonable prices, not quite the right tread pattern but near enough.

With regard to original tyre sizes and axel configurations the August 1945 Manual quotes the following for tire sizes:

D15 900.16, D60S 10.50.16 D60L 10.50.16 D60L/D 7.50.20, D60L/DD 7.50/20, D60S/DD 7.50/20.

Single speed axel in D15 and D60L/D

Two speed Eaton 6.33 and 8.81 to 1 in D60L D60l/DD D60S D60S/DD

I think you may find the top picture you posted is a D15 with a 2C1 or 2J1 to 2J5 welded steel GS body, the bottom truck is of a D60S/DD tipper.

Nice pictures all the same
