I know this is an old thread and has been discussed quite a lot but I just
remembered an option that hasn't been mentioned, on the front wheels just
take the entire wheel and hub off at the same time at the spindle and grind
the head off of the wheel stud and knock it out from the back side. The rear
would be a little more involved but depending on the differential design you
might be able to pull the axles with wheel/brake drum attached and do the
same thing as on the front.

Well, it wasn't much, but after sitting untouched for 16 months, I'll take
it. Saturday morning my step-son and I went out, unloaded all the
miscellaneous pieces (fenders, inner fenders, radiator, etc...) the PO had
put in the back and then removed the barn doors. In two weeks we're going
to pull the doors, running boards, and rear bumper. It feels good to have
finally done SOMETHING to this thing.
Now for a question. The truck has aftermarket rims with wheel locks. And
as far as I can tell, I didn't end up with the key for the locks. How do I
get these off? They're sunk into the rims so I can't get em with a sledge.
Thanks,
