Hey guys!
So, I recently purchased a clean, completely rustfree 1984 Ford F-700 dump truck for parts, and upon realizing that there didn't actually appear to be anything wrong with the truck, that it was complete and only has 78,000 miles on it and shouldn't take much to get it running, I've decided to consider keeping it instead of butchering it for parts.
One thing it would need, would be at least 4 new tires (2 fronts, 2 of the 4 rear) as the old front tires are bald and the rear ones are heavily cracked. Im not afraid to spend some money on this as I purchased the entire truck for very little money.
The tires all the way around are 9.00x20 tube type. The front wheels appear to be split rim and the back ones look like they're solid wheels but I'm not sure. Anyway, I know very little about these wheels.
1) How hard would it be to convert the front wheels to solid rims that will take a more modern tire size? I think if I found a new solid rim it would clamp right up to these hubs, but where would I find such a thing?
2) Would any modern tire sizes fit the existing from rims? I understand theres a new "format" for naming the tire sizes and 900-20 is pretty outdated, and 9.00-20 tires are hard to find and expensive
If anyone has any actionable information or other such feedback, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
