1-What exactly were the original tires (sizes shown in the ad)
2- What would be the best modern equivalent if I want to ride it?

I have some jack shaft plates made up if you want to weld on a new set…

Thanks, wasn't the rear tire taller than the front ?
and thanks, but I can remove the metal left from the weld/mods on the jack shaft plates.

The frame had some welded on modifications and the neck was shortened, I'm fixing it with some help on the neck.

No worries though, this isn't my first rodeo

Nice shop! I dig the burn table. That chopper is coming right along. I have the same Terra bike, I turned it into our mailbox
As Skipp said, The Coker 14 x 6 is your best bet for the rear tire. Front should be a 4.10 x 3.50 x 6, bonus points if you can find a vintage Carlisle ribbed version.
Keep up the good work!!
