The description is the tire size, you just are confused with decifering it.  33x13.50-16LT
33 is the height in inches
13.50 is the width in inches
16 is the rim diameter it fits in inches
LT is Light Truck designation.

Would my 87 custom deluxe 1/2 ton longbed qualify as a "light truck"? just wondering (In order to buy the correct tires)

Yes, half ton trucks qualify as a Light truck.

Yes, it qualifies, but make sure you have 16 inch tall rims.  If not, you may want some 33/12.50/15LT's.
