Vision Wheels is a company that makes them, not as nice as Welds obviously but they have a 5x5 pattern that no one else seems to offer in the pro star and draglite styles. Even the Jegs clone isn't offered in 5x5!

Also offer some Hurst wheels..not really my thing but they are different.

I would like them in 18 inch size, but not offered

Nice looking wheel. I was going to say how great it is they actually make the classic 15" up to 10" wide. Even those slots that came out, which is a traditional wheel, didn't come in those sizes. These trucks look right with deep dish wheels that have a healthy dose of rubber around them.

You can have the rear axles re drilled, or order what you want on pattern on a custom axle. Do your on research on this, but the 71-72 vans had a 4 3/4" bolt circle (disc up front). IIRC, they were slightly smaller dia. & narrower than the truck rotors, but they should work (bolt on, with proper ball joints/ect). Also, a good machinist, may be able to repunch the holes in your stock rotors. Fruit for thought....Longhorn

I am acthally surprised kits to convert over to 4 3/4 arent offered everywhere, unless theres a reason that it cant be done.

Always thought a set of 69 camaro SS wheels would look cool on trucks I have seen done up as if GM offered a super sport option.
