I did the same as you did on my '53 3/4 ton, Blacksmithdon, with no problems. I got the D***e wheels for free off a friends '72 C/20. The radials cost $2 apeice at a swapmeet. The spacers were $18 at NAPA.
Sandblasted and repainted the rims. The tires look good with decent tread.
The ride with the radials is nice. Looks nice, too.
If anyone goes this route be sure to check the space between the tie-rod end and the edge of the rim. I have about three-eighths inch of clearance using the original style tie-rods. No sign of any contact between the two on mine.
Safety first - always.
