Thanks a bunch

Oh it for a 72 2wd.
Did you try a big rig shop? Plenty of big rigs still ride on split rims and know how to mount tires the safe way. Most passenger car shops won't let their employees touch split rims mainly due to insurance reasons.

Many small farm tractors also run split rims. You should be able to get a set of tires and have a shop mount them for you.
