Ebay has some.
Your local parts place should too.
I’ve bought some from Napa.

Ask for dual threaded lugnuts.

My son has some extra (non-GM) aluminum wheels from his squarebody, he just upgraded to Methods.

The issue with the newer wheels (he had a set of 06 2500 aluminum's) the offset puts them in really far and close to the suspension. you may not like the look. You can get wheel spacers though that bolts onto your hubs and then you bolt the wheels onto the spacers.

Here's a thread with numerous pictures of different 8 lug wheels and links to lug nut sources.

As stated above, the aluminum wheels you are thinking about use dual thread lug nuts. These wheels were used starting in 2001 and would have used metric lug nuts. You will find several eBay sellers who sell the SAE threaded versions in 9/16" and 1/2". If your 1970 truck has the original studs, you'll need 9/16" nuts.
