If you find a 70's model medium duty with a steel hood, it will likely be fairly rusty. This body style of truck is getting pretty scarce in rust free condition, at least around here. The fenders seemed to rust out really bad, as well as along the bottom of the hood. To put on adapters and 22.5 or 24 inch rims like you're talking about, would probably require a fair amount of modifications to bring the wheels out to the edge of the fenderwell opening. Otherwise I'm thinking that the tires would hit the inner fenders and greatly diminish its ability to turn sharp, and it would look strange too.
