Need some tire knowledge.... 1976 Chevrolet K-10

My youngest son graduates Parris Island as a US Marine very soon. Naturally, I am extremely proud of him. Not only will he be a Marine; but, during rifle week he contracted bi-lateral pneumonia. Rather than rest in the hospital (and risk not graduating with his Platoon) he went to the range and while running a high fever qualified expert!

Anyway, he is my "redneck" son. So, as a surprise gift I bought him a 1976 Chevrolet K-10. I bought it from Nevada so it's rust free. It has a new crate engine, rebuilt np205 transfer case, rebuilt TH350 transmission, new Rough Country suspension, etc....

As you can see, the truck is crying out for new rims and tires. The bolt pattern is 6 x 5.5. I like the flat black Pro Comp steel wheels (model 97-5883F). What size and type tires should I consider that would be good for highway but also handle occasional off road use?
