Original Tire Size

What was the standard tire size on a 4WD Pickup "back in the day"? I've got that 1st gen that I'm fixing up and wanna know what the spedometer was originally set to. Anyone know? I looked on the data plate but I couldn't understand that gibberish. Someone out there must know what's a modern day equivalent to the stock tire!!

My truck has a ghetto set up right now. On one side I have P215's and the other side has LT235's, very funny to look at especially considering that the 215's are flat.

H78, roughly a 235/75R15 in modern day sizes!
