A lot of ford 1/2 tons are the same bolt pattern.  I don't know if they all
have the correct center hole, but at least some do.

Look for say late 60's until 90's ford half ton 4x4 rims (and maybe 2wd ones
too, just check the center hole in all cases).  The interchangeability will
end whenever they changed to metric.

Also... a lot of older jeeps have the correct rims.
