If it is a two ton it is most likely a C60 or larger. C50's were generally considered ton and half trucks. The rear ends are generally 15000 lb units with a vacuum shift 2 speed chamber. Could be a larger one. The 4 speeds are an SM420 and there are many PTO's it could be but is most likely a single gear unit to drive the pump. Your statement "don't think it's going to be because it's just a dump" confuses me. Dump trucks take a lot of abuse and have to start heavy loads often in soft ground, etc. So yes...it probably is a 2 speed and yes they do cost more.
