I wasn't running 3rd gen wheels, but IIRC those that did put the fronts on the rear and the rears on the front for proper fitment on a second gen.
Thanks Champ,

Stock, these came with 225-70-15's which are 27.4" tall. Am I missing something?

Currently on my 76, the previous owner put 215-70-15's, which are horrible and look undersized. This is why I am going through the upgrade.
