White walls IN!
White walls in. Hey that's cool hitch up front. Anyone know how or where I can get one.
Out! A poll would definitely help..

IN-black all the way.
Black side out !!!
Black out, but if you put black wheels on it you will be publicly flogged.

It depends. If your rig is stock all the way, go white walls out. Keep it retro. Modified at all, white walls in.
I run mine with the letters facing out. It goes with the 80's retro look, although if I ever get black wheels, that will probably change.
Pretty subjective, but I think this depends on the aesthetic you are going for with your vehicle. The whitewalls showing is a more "old school" look, while the black (especially with black wheels) gives a 60 a more aggressive, or even "military", vibe IMO.
My FJ60, when new, was black sidewalls IIRC, but I like the "nostalgia" look of white letters out. Not really original, but hey. It could have been.
I recently had my summer tires put on my 2012 F150, modern truck and they put the white letters out. Not my favourite. But the rubber is coming to an end soon, so I let it slide. Black letters out is better by far.
White walls are not white letters, but white rings around the truck. I have seen it on cruisers. It's pretty lame. But so is a 31 inch tire.
I had 30 x 9.5 x 15s when I bought my truck. Fuugly… The 235/85R16 is just starting to look normal that I put on. But if your on 15's I would use a 33 x 10.5 x 15 or so. Or a 32 at a min..

33" is a bit tall for stock suspension and 32's only come in 11.5 width, which is a bit wide for those stock 6" wheels. I think the 31 is a good choice. White lettering facing out is OK too-either way looks fine.

Thank you for all the interesting responses. I will try to post before and after pictures. I did blackout today!
Sounds like it's highly subjective, and evenly split based on all your good responses. I did go with the 31s and it is a big improvement over the 235/75/15. Looks like a totally different rig with the rugged and somewhat noisy 31's. I definately recommend the 31's!
