I believe they were about 1998 -99 vintage trucks your local big truck wreckers might have something on hand.
Acme truck dismantling Stockton ca on airport way is my used parts supplier.
Ford and gm also used a 8 lug medium duty pattern. None of those seem to be an 8x10" bolt pattern with anything like original looks or back spacing.

This thing is a brute! I love the bigger F series, especially 57-60 models. They just look perfect especially with the scoop.
