I would go with radial tubes with metal stems. Tubes last a loooooooooong time. I have a WW2 tube, half a dozen patches on it, still looks fairly new, holds air and has the company name, stock number, etc. You may be running bias tires now, but if you want to go to a radial tires later, you'll have the tubes. Will save you an additional $150 later.
Ask the truck center if the tubes have 85 or 90 degree bent metal stems or metal inside rubber that will have to be bent 90 degrees - common pratice. Although you can use the metal inside rubber stem tubes, it's best to have full metal because the stem gets locked against the flap to minimize movement. Prices are good
