Doesn't look original as the front wheels are right for a dually.

I think your right. The bed has doors for the fuel tanks.

That thing is scary. It must have some monster wheel spacers between the back wheels. I would run away screaming from that truck.

That looks like they just added a dually rear and a later dually bed to a 3/4 ton. Doesn't have dually front hubs/rotors. I was thinking of doing the opposite when I convert to 4x4. If I can't find k30 front axle, I'll use a front axle from a 3/4 ton and flip the rims over so the concave portion of rim is facing out, to match my dually rear.

I'm with you on this. The rear rims are standard SW rims, probably with some 10" spacers.

I worked on a Centurion f-250 dually conversion once. They had dually wheels on standard SW axles. The front had a 3" or so thick aluminum spacer with special studs that screwed onto the original lug studs. The rears had a 6" spacer with the same stud setup. Frickin' scary if you ask me. The clown that owned it thought it was the cat's azz and hauled a 30' horse trailer with it. Not too bright. The rest of the truck looked like bling central with all the crap they tacked on.
