van/truck rim comparability?

I am wanting to get another set of stock rims for my '88 250. My plan is to sand blast and paint them. Figured I could find them cheap at a junk yard. I am assuming the van and the trucks are the same rims. Is there a certain year range I should be looking for? Are f350 and f250 rims the same?

If they are ford 8 hole pattern they should fit as long as they are not the metric pattern I don't know what year ford went to the metric pattern. I have been told that the dodge wheels will fit also. I also know from personal experience that chevy wheels won't fit. (the lug nut pattern is the same but the center hole won't fit over the rear axle hubs)

Thanks. Should be a fun project for the spring.
