Jeremiah,
If the original steel wheels on your TR3 are not of the  Safety type (and 
they 
probably are not) then you SHOULD use inner tubes in  the tires, and they 
should be tubes designed for radial tires.    It is possible to get along 
without 
them but make sure correct tire  pressures are maintained.   If pressures get 
low and you are  cornering hard, the tire can come loose from the rim very 
suddenly, with  nasty results.   Safety rims have ridges to help keep air in 
and  
tires on.   It's peace of mind knowing the air isn't gonna get  out when 
cornering 
hard.

Diamondback says that's not so.
