Yes Ford made 16x7 rims for van's. They have the 4 slots around the center also. Otherwise you're stuck with stock 6" or paying big bucks to Wheel Vintiques for 8's or 10's.

Re: Let's see your truck in the snow
My ugly 81 C20 that I converted to a K20 yesterday after plowing 7" of snow. As you can see in the side shot I haven't installed the 4x4 spring hangers yet. Will do this summer.
