Do we need to post this:

That's a blast from the past. That used to be very common in threads. Maybe because it is so much easier to post pictures these days.

Awesome pictures! So nice to see what we are talking about. Plenty of promise can be seen for sure! Please be aware that you have a dreaded Firestone RH-5° honest goodness widow maker rims. They are essentially ticking time bombs that can go off at any time, stationary or not. There is a current companion post discussing safe alternatives: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...5-project.html

You need to triple double check all your rims again. Only one that I see not being a RH-5° is the outer rear right. The outer rear left is definitely an RH-5°. Both fronts don't look to have lock rings and likely RH-5°. The spare seems to show the RH-5° split as well. Obviously, we can't see the inner duals, but....

I have taken one of the rims apart and it is the twist on lock rim type.

Generally, lock rings don't have a twisting action associated with them (RH-5° do). Is the rim split inside the tire (between the beads) or outside along the bead?
