Wheel sizing, bolt pattern etc.

Trying to swap wheels around a biut here at the ranch.
Had a couple of questions and a good link.
Will the wheels from a 79 F250 4x4 fit a 97 F350 4x4 and....
will the wheels from a 3/4 ton Dodge 4x4 fit either of the above?

I found a good link on this but they don't cover the older years.

Thanks,

Sorry Tom, you got your years mixed up. A 1997 F-350 does not have a metric bolt pattern. They are the same wheels that Ford used for years. The metric bolt patterns on heavy duty trucks started in MY 1999.

Was hopin' the Dodge wheels would fit.
They fit in all ways BUT they use 1/2" studs Ford uses 9/16"

Bolt patern on the 79 is the same as the 97 but the center hole is smaller. Wouldn't fit on my 4x4.
