If those rims have the removable centers, you can get centers that are laser cut to fit the rim and mount on the 16-spline 2.5 ton Rockwells. If the rims you have don't have the removable centers, your next option is to mount the 395s on the stock deuce rims. Many of the members here say this is a bad idea and not safe, while others here have this wheel combo on thier trucks and have no problems with it. If you're not comfortable doing that, you can get re-centered rims to mount your 395s on, but they're not cheap. Good luck with your project and keep in mind,

If that isn't enough, simply go to the sections on "The Deuce" and "Deuce Modifications & Hot-Rodding." Search within those sections and you'll get all kinds of useful info...worked for me.
