The DOT guy here in Ohio told me to just put Antique Vehicle plates on my 2-ton to clear up any "grey areas". Ohio says to qualify for Antique plates: "A vehicle must be at least 25 years old to qualify for antique plates. In addition, the vehicle must only be used for antique exhibitions, parades, and related activities, not for routine transportation." Since the antique plates automatically disqualify the truck for use as a commercial vehicle, you should be golden. Plus ODOT only charges a one-time fee of $21.00 for the plates... no yearly renewal.
