Are the rear wheels really "singles", or duals???

The bearing caps look like 5-ton hubs; but with single wheels, the truck would be overloaded (wheel/tire-wise)...

I mentioned the 5-tonners we had were called 10x10's, because over here the classification is "10 wheels on the ground; 10 wheels driving"...Direct-drive dualies on the rear; sprag-driven front singles...

No heaters in them; canvas cab covers; wipers ineffective; no lockable ignition (On/Off switch); seats padded with old rags; no synchromesh (double-clutch every shift); and no way to get spare parts in the civilian market...
