1/2 Ton '58's had 15" and 16" wheels. 6 hole bolt pattern. The proper wheel will also have 3 tabs rivited to the rim that hold the hubcap on.
I just re did my 15" wheels, I found 4 of them on craigslist from someone that was making a hot rod. I had them sand blasted for $100, and new whitewalls from Tucker Tire for $480.
Key to the old rivited rims, is make SURE you clean the rivets well, and coat them with a sealant on the inside of the rim, before the tires go on. That will help them from the inevitable slow leak. I used a marine sealer. (3M 4200)
Good luck!
