Do 55-59 3/4 ton dually have 1ton rear ends?
I heard that 3/4 ton dually are equipped with 1 ton rear ends from the factory.

A 3/4 ton with dual wheels? Was that a factory option? I believe the center section is the same, but the hubs and brakes might be different to accomodate the dual wheels. My 59 1-ton has much bigger brakes than a 3/4 ton, enough that 16" wheels won't fit. It needs 18" wheels to fit over the drums.

If there is a difference between the H052 and the H070 axle, I haven't found it yet.

Brake size and gearing options were about the only differences between 3/4 and one ton axles.
