No it is more likely a 1.5 ton (30cwt) 1940 model 'WA' with 133 inch wheelbase. Model number was the same for single as well as dual rear wheels.

What is the wheelbase of your truck?

Info below is from the Chev model ID list.

model - WA wheelbase - 133inches Utility - 1&1/2 Ton Truck - Single or Dual Wheels
