New Wheels On The 'Ole GMC Hunting Truck

My brother has this GMC truck he uses to go out west when he is bow hunting. It has these old factory steel rims and some crappy old tires that are starting to get cracks in them from weathering and old age. It's time for some new wheels on that baby. The rims on it currently were painted white, and the paint is all peeling off so it looks pretty rough.
They don't have to be the fanciest wheels out there, some high end custom rims or anything. Just some regular aluminum or chrome mags will do just fine. The truck itself is a short box step side, made in 1976. It has full time four wheel drive and a positraction rear diff, so it can really go places in the bush.
He was thinking of looking around some of the local wrecking yards and such. I suggested looking online for them at kijiji or somewhere like that, but Gordon isn't much of a computer guy. He can take em or he can leave em, and he usually just leaves em turned off.
There are a lot of other places online that you can look at to find GMC Sierra truck wheels, so I'm gonna do a little checking for him myself. It has to be on the lower end of the price scale, since his hunting truck is by no means a shiny new unit.
