I've used Ford wheels a number of times. You want pre 1999 pickup wheels. Ford went metric bolt pattern with the new "Super Duty" body style change in 99.

Thank You! What's the best way to go disc brakes on the front with 8 Lugs?

71-87 front end swap. There's several zillion 3/4 ton trucks of that era in the yards out there and they all offer you a bolt on disc brake front end.

I bought a conversion kit from performance online. $1200 new spindles rotors calipers booster and master cylinder. Upper and lower ball joints and new inner and outer tire rod ends. I installed in about 7 hours. Its everything you need. Pads and new brake hoses. The only thing that didn't come in kit was lug nuts.
