16.5 inch wheels - Love 'em or Lose "em ???

My new aqquired 71 C20 has the 16.5 wheels and tires. The tires will need replaced soon, I don't think there is much selection in 16.5 tires anymore and I won't be hauling much if anything so don't need load range D tires.

I'm trying to go real low buget on this one, should I keep the 16.5 steel wheels and find some new tires or find some stock steel 8 bolt 16 inch rims at the junkyard and buy a more common tire ? What rims are a good junkyard fit for these, backspacing and etc ???
