If 5 and 10 lugs as I suspect it'll be on 7.25" bolt circle.
Given a Chevy truck that old even with 20" tires they were narrow and not so tall; you might find that a modern 8R19.5 tire at about 32" tall is similar in height to your originals?
If you like that idea then the easy wheel option will be 10 lug 19.5" wheels from a P30 (step van or RV) or 3500HD truck or the HD vans back then.
Two problems to look out for:
1- The 19.5" wheels might not fit over your rear brake drums, ought to test fit before buying them.
2- your wheels have a center hole (hub diameter) of 4.75" or possibly even smaller being an older model Chevy. To safely use the new 19.5" wheels with a 5.25" center hole you need to make bushings that take up this difference. For just rolling the truck around while working on it you could put off the bushings for later.
