Default A little help needed: tire pressure

I have had my '88 2WD for about a week - picked it up from my brother in law as a project to tinker with. Even so, I'm having fun with it. Already changed out the rotted weather stripping around the front windows.

Anyway, need a small favor. The information normally found on the sticker on the driver's side door jamb is rubbed completely off, including the cold tire pressures. It has the stock size 205/75/15. Can anyone tell me the cold tire pressures recommended from the factory? Thanks.

(BTW, it's not in the manual, and the search feature here drew nothing...)

I'm going to guess 32psi on all 4 corners. With your drivetrain, it really doesn't matter so long as your tires aren't squating hard and you are not over the maximum recommended pressure as shown on the sidewall of your tires.

It should be 35psi in all corners. If you have a v6 in it, the fronts will look softer than the rears due to the greater weight in the front.

Thanks, that helps.
