Could it be 10 lugs on 7.25" bolt circle?
Not sure of center hole, but 5.25", or perhaps less?

That is what most AD 1.5 and 2 tons are. I am not real familiar with the older ones, but I think it is the same other than the center hole.

Nothing is easier than measuring the bolt pattern on an even numbered hub, you just measure from the center of one stud to the center of the opposite stud, count the number of studs, measure the hub diameter and you have it. The only other thing to determine is the offset or back spacing.

Baldy and Grigg thans for the info. I found a few companies that have perfect replacements. Budd,Alcoa and Dayton wheel. Also found another comapany that offers custom wheels and adaptors for the custom Big Bolt. "Chrome Wheels.com" Big rigg and heavy duddy custom wheels for work trucks. Nice stuff in there.

What bolt pattern does it have?
If it is the 7.25 circle with 5.25 hole I am surprised you found many wheels.
For that bolt pattern I have only found Accuride steel or aluminum wheels in 19.5", and Alcoa in Aluminum.
I seriously doubt someone makes an adapter to fit other wheels to that bolt pattern. At least none of the adapter manufactures did when I checked about a year ago. Please post some links if they do, I am curious now.

I thought the Budd wheel division had been bought by Accuride some time ago? And the Dayton wheel company (not the wire spoked wheels) thought Accuride had them too?

I thought
