Thats about it recaps or if you do find new you'll pay out the rear they're becoming obsolete. I'd bite the bullit on rims now and get it over with.

Should be able to find some, though they may be on back order. Gonna become harder to find, if you have your heart set on keeping them and you can find some, stock up now and store them in a cool, dry environment sheltered from the sun and away from electronics and other producers of ozone. What does show up in a tire store is liable to have been produced a while ago, when they made a batch large enough to be economical, then stuck the leftovers in a warehouse until the orders came in. If you wait to buy tires later you'll probably just be subject to more price increases without advances in technology available in other tires. That's my theory, anyway.
I'd probably bite the bullet and get new rims as the trucks need tires. My $.02Good luck either way.
