Split rims

I found a 78 F350 dump truck for parts. I'm thinking about grabbing the rear spring set, rear and rims. Was Ford still using splits at that time or are they one-piece?

Yeah man, we're still good. I was just wondering if I would come across the one piece rims possibly if I went and looked at this thing. I missed a set (six no less) of Brazilian *aluminum* one piece wheels in NH of all places. But I didn't have my truck yet so it was a no sale to mama.
Let me know when you are around. I have your numbers programmed into my phone so I'll know it's you!
