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.

Yeah, sorry, not an original dually....

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.
