Took a tape out back today, and sure enough the modified conventional pattern Fords have the rim you are looking for. One of these trucks is to be scrapped, so I'll take a shot at pulling one of the tires off it's rim. I gave Casey a heads up that he might have a rim to bring home, so we'll see if this will all work out. I'll let you know.
I also checked it against my 56 Ford COEs, and by then the rims went to 6" wide, and a 7.50X20 tire. I'll have spares of these rims too.
Of course, all the usual cautions on the split rims will apply to these. They can let go without warning during filling, so if you don't have a cage, at least set it under a vehicle or trailer while filling and use a clip on chuck and a long hose. I have seen the power behind these rings, as well as seen the damage it can do to a skull if you don't follow procedures.
