Thanks colgad. That is exactly what I was expecting.

I was looking for a good wheel/tire solution for highway speeds, but have not found something to fit my needs. Adding new axles, like you did, for the big bolt pattern is too much like work for me. Those semi sized tires look cool, but the weight has to really kill the already poor fuel economy. I don't have the room to pull big trucks apart. If only someone would make adapters to their bolt pattern.

There are a few trucks for sale locally, but none cheaply, even a couple later model diesels.

I'm in the rust belt but the big farm trucks survive because they aren't driven in the winter. My biggest problem would be finding a nice bed. Since the pickups were winter driven they are all rusted badly.
