Clay,
Now I see what you mean.
Wire brush, WD-40, patience, and if the wheel nuts are uncooperative, heat. I'm hoping this is one of these "looks worse than it is" things.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
Years ago I wrecked a HJ panel van that was owned for years by a local fisherman, he used it to launch and retrieve his boat every day. It had good tyres on it so I went to take the wheels off - got 3 off without TOO much trouble but the last one............ 
I ended up doing my narna and i chained the chassis (we had thrown the body away already) to the back of my ute and towed the bastard around the front paddock for about 15 minutes and the bloody thing would STILL not break loose so I ended up pulling the valve out and blowing the rim off the centre with the oxy

I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Needed some wheels on the trailer so took the rollers off the front of the Ute' dear Liza. Needed some wheels on the front of the Ute. Just realised they are unidirectional, and guess what.....

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
Fits perfectly
Thinking out loud... with the board in the back, the tonneau has one (maybe two) LiftADot studs loose. I guess you will put some padding/rag between the board and the tub to stop them hammering the snot out of each other. Wonder if you could make a soft pad, and hold it roughly in place with the spare LiftaDot stud? When the board is out, unclip the pad and put it behind the front seat perhaps.
