After the war.....
There were some dual wheels set up for civilian use that were fitted on the original CMP axles. Apparently the dual wheel fitted perfectly on the CMP axle spindle....... voila instant duallies.
To my knowledge none were original Canadian military conversion. Bob

Same as my 20CWT trailer, the spindals for the Budd wheels easily took the CMP drums and wheels.

I see! So is the stud pattern on a CMP compatible with a GMC or Studebaker. This might sound ridiculously naiive but I'd never thaought of it before...

Clarification.....
Not sure about the stud pattern.... the 8 bolt pattern of the CMP is rather unique.
When they installed duals on a CMP they installed the civilian brake drums, and the two civilian rims which fitted perfectly on the CMP axle spindle...... backing brake plate and brake linings were the same size as the CMP so everything worked fine. The typical civilian duals I have seen on CMPs are either 5 or 6 bolt pattern Budd wheels with 5 circular holes/opening cut out of the rim as seen on 1955 GM 3 to 5 ton trucks. Bob

Warren, Don't you remember that your Stude US6 had 6 stud wheels and your C60X has 8 studs. The tyres are interchangeable being 7.50 X 20" on the Stude and are the same on the F60S Tippers.( Not the C60X).
No drum or stud changes here in Australia Harry and Bob. The English Bedford and Austin 7.50x20" wheels fit straight on without changing brake drums or anything else allowing duals on the rear and a more centralized to the brake drum, front tyre. Regards Rick.

Here's one
F60S. Fitted with duals.
Three of the rear wheels look like post war but one looks authentic military. Obviously I cant verify if it had a tipper body but the tow hooks position may provide a clue.

If anyone want to give duals a run for their money, there's a set of six on e-bay at the moment: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Chev-Blit...item1c2e00f804

Sorry Rick - I'd engaged typing before engaging brain. As soon as I'd sent I realised. (It's 17 years since I had the Stude! Wow!) interesting about the austin/ Bedford swap over. The 1920s Dennis fire engines I have do the same - often they,d replace the big vintage disc wheels with standard Bedford wheels no worries. In fact one of the fire engines has Bedford rear wheels at the moment. Anyway I'll go and have a look at this farmers truck and report back. Warren
