I went scrounging the junkyards last week looking for some one-piece wheels for my 3/4 ton. I found one old guy who knew quite a bit.

You can use wheels from Chevy, Ford or Dodge trucks. The only difference is the Chevy has a smaller hub center, so Chevy wheels won't fit a Dodge or Ford. He mentioned International, which I think are identical to the Ford and Dodge, but aren't as easy to locate.

The hubcap mounts are the same on all three. Same size inner and outer mount, so you can add clips to any of the wheels and use your original style AD hubcaps.

Wheel sizes. I found a lot of 16.5" wheels, a few 16", but these were 7" wide, with a setback of about 5", which is 2" too wide for a stock AD. These would work with a later model differential, which is 3.5" wider.

I did find one 16X6" wheel, from an older Ford. Setback on it was 4", which would require a 1" spacer. This is still a thick enough spacer to require studs in the spacer, but a far better solution than a 2" spacer.

I'm still looking for a pair of 16X6" wheels, but do have a better handle on what I'm looking for.
