I'm about to order some tires for my '65 F-85 (non 442).
I'm wondering if any of you could point out a vintage looking black wall radial that looks the part.
P28 was a 15" x 7.75 tire option in '65 and I'll be going that direction.
Here's one I've found, but I'm not sure the tire sidewall design is period correct for '65?
Thoughts?
The pie crust won't be correct. A friend of mine got Universal bias-look radials for his 59 Ford. They look pretty good, but they are wide whites. I'm not sure what they carry in blackwall.

Try Diamondback Classics in Conway, SC. Call them. They make some of their own with an old style and for some they start with another manufacturer’s black wall tire. The example below had the redline added. You could also get it with a blue line, gold line or just a black wall. There is a difference between Diamondbacks and Cokers in the colored sidewall. Notice the raised red ring on the Diamondbacks while the Cokers are concave and recessed into the sidewall.
