Mickey Thompson wheels

Does anybody have a set of Mickey Thompson wheels (Classic II's or Classic Beadlocks) on your truck?? I need to find a set of wheels for my '78 F250 Crew 4x4 and kinda like the looks of these wheels but would like to see more pics of them on a 70's vintage truck. Can anybody help out on this simple request - just want to see a pic of your truck equipped with Mickeys
Thanks!

Crack??? MT's are a forged wheel - unless they've gotten cheap on the new ones. Cast wheels crack - forged wheels bend...

My uncle has had them on his pulling trucks for years and theres never been an issue. Seems like as abusive as pulling is on things there woulda been an issue by now.
