Joe,
Reference Don Bunn's "Dodge Pickups History & Restoration Guide" pages 69 thru 85
does not look like there is any room to put
any wider wheel or tire on this unit
page 69 shows the Chassis & one can clearly see that there is no clearance for a wheel with any increased backside setting.
looking at the pictures on pages 72 & 84 does
not look like there is room for a wheel or tire to be any wider than original in order to fit up into the body cavity.
one could use a cutting torch to radius the wheel openings but that is kind of out there.
as i posted on #300 might be a problem in locating any 9.00-16 highway tread pattern tires (page 69 has good picture) so you might want to contact local Bandag retreader
and see if they can Bandag a 9.00-16 casing

in the body cavity.
