I considered this as well, but couldn't find 32" od tires to go with my current 33's

In California '36 and earlier pickups, 1/2 ton, are exempt from the weight/commercial rules. However, I would suggest you be very careful with what you put in the bed.

If you are a fabricator and owner of a machine shop I would think the answer would be simple. Find some wheels you can sacrifice, cut the centers out of some old Ford rims that have other issues, find some later steel rims the size you want, cut the centers out of those and mate them with the old Ford centers. Tack them together, true them in your shop and TIG weld them together and end wondering about what might be legal or not.
My best friend owns a big machine shop and he has widened the 17" rims for the rear of his 33 phaeton by adding a band around them, and reversed the rims on his 54 skyliner.
