I went to Les Schwab on Friday. No problem. Ask for rims for a 1969 Ford F250. Those will be 8 lug 1/2" stud. You will need a wheel spacer if you do this unless you use the modern tie rod setup I am working on. They had 4 on the shelf. Should be about a 16" x 7" rim.

My brother did this back in 1995. I was just looking to maybe replace the rims again since they rusted from the truck sitting again.

Read through this thread. I was in the same boat as you. All set and done it cost me about $300 for the new wheels and the tierod + ends. While there are probably much cheaper options available, the rims look darn near stock and work great.
