Bryce, I faced a similar problem with my '64 F-600, it had 8.25-20's if I recall correctly. Truck repair shop across the road, now gone, hooked me up with used non split type rims and 10.00-20 tires, if I recall the size correctly. The goal was to get rid of those rims. He had to do some machining as well, hub-pilot comes to mind. I wanted nothing to do with those rims, matter of a fact they are still here in the yard and inflated as I did not want to deal with the darned things. Probably time to get rid of these. They seem to be in serviceable condition, I just do not trust them and they serve no purpose to have.
Way back when, while driving a tandem mack dump on a landfill capping job, I was hauling wet heavy clay, approved capping material from a gravel pit to the site. One day with 29 ton on, (yes a bit heavy for a tandem, wet material) right front tire blew and the locking ring launched into the nearby woods. It blew the battery box cover off, fender well out with the post mirror on it and we NEVER found the locking ring. I cannot imagine being in the path of it or a widow maker split type rim when it comes apart. The pressures involved make these bombs in my book. Locally we lost someone airing up a heavy equipment tire on a rim that came apart, killed instantly. This was not after any tire work being done, just a young person like yourself adding air.
My stern advice is to ditch the darned things and don't make that young gal a widow so to speak. There are some things associated with this old iron that are not worth dealing with and these are definitely one of them.
