New (Old) Ford owner

I've been after a friend to cut loose on a 1975 F 250 XLT 4x4. He finally sold it to me.

VIN: F26YRV80648

The engine has been changed to a 390 4 bbl from the original 360. Must have been a beautiful truck new. Now desert dried, but not a speck of rust.

He has 16.5's with monster meats on it. I want to put stocker 16" rims and tires on the beast. What wheels should I look for? Are there still inexpensive white spokers? What size tires will look and act OK. I plan to make this a daily driver, 99% regular driving, 1% off road. Does anyone have a decent set of tires and rims that they took off their truck? I'm in Tucson.

Thanks, kelmbaker
