Need some wheels

Hi everyone, I am in the process of purchasing a rust free 1978 or 79 F-350 cab and chassis. Not sure of the year but for the price I don't really care. My problem is that the outer duals have been removed and have disappeared. Does anyone know where to find two wheels that will fit near Southwest Missouri?

Same 8 lug 6.50" bolt pattern dually wheels used on 1975/2013 E350's.

F250/350's went to metric wheels in 1999, but no Econoline has metric wheels.

I can probably track down a set for you. Where are you? I'm near Ozark.

18000 you should stop by the FTE Missouri chapter and say hello, ck the new members thread and the Feb chat and BS thread.

I live just north of you on the other side of Stockton, if you need some more parts I got a bunch and a great JY just 5 min up the road.

As far as rims... here you go.

16 inch Ford 1 ton Split rims

I've got a 78 F350 dually with split rims, when I went to upgrade to 1 piece rims I found out real fast that I had to get what is sometimes called a bud rim sometimes refered to as cup and cone. The rims that I got from my buddies 90 F350 kept getting loose on me. If you look at your split rim lug nut holes and compare them to newer big washer flat rims you'll see what I'm saying. There may be rims that fit right but I didn't find them.
