Spare wheel

I have a 73 F-250 and need a spare 16" 8 Lug wheel. I have a old split rim but it is very beat up and leaks air so wanna replace with Non split rim. Any modern wheels interchange? Truck is a 2 Wheel drive

Ford trucks up to 1997
Ford E Series Van's until 2013
Dodge Trucks - Current
GM/ Chevy trucks - Present ( make sure its large center bore)

Or go buy a new steel wheel from any tire shop for 60.00.

Not quite. GM went metric in 2011.
Ram is still using 8x6.5"

I have five 16.5" rims 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern with crappy tires you can have off my '77. Four are painted nice cherry red and one was a spare kinda beat up. They're just taking up precious space in my garage.
