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)
