Okay, my question is why do you need all the tires to hold air if it's just a decoration?
.
Well, quite honestly I do not know, but I have to do what my boss tells me and he wants all 4 tires inflated. The truck does not run, but we do move it maybe once or twice a year. We move it by pushing it and/or pulling it with a tractor or several men, or both. It just sits outside the store as a decoration for the most part. Last year they moved it inside the store for about two months and used it as a display. I think they wanna do that again this year. So moving it from it's current location will involved rolling it from the front, all the way around back where we can actually fit it through the roll up doors, and the. Through the center of the store. Total distance I woe estimate it wil move about 200-250 yards.
And for the thought of filling it with foam or something similiar, it has been sitting flat so many times that the sidewalls have split. It's been on a flat tire since January, and my boss just told me to get it aired up. When I went to air it up, air was coming right out of the sidewall just as fast as I was pumping it in.

Well then, the boss needs to pony up for some tires if he wants it to roll.

He is gonna pony up. Lol.
But he wants me to do the cheapest option possible, which I'm thinking is just grab a used wheel and tire from the junkyard.

You are right since the car is just for display, just buy tires from a junk shop. If the holes in the existing tires are not that severe you can buy a tire patch and just have it vulcanized.
