Truck ID
This is not/not a certainty but they have some resemblance to 1939-1940 Chevrolet in the grille shape. The single rear tyre with large hub assembly resembles heavy duty 1.5 ton axles seen on Fords (but the grille/hood and cab aren't Ford) of the period that were sold to operators that wanted a single, high pressure tyre instead of duals. All corrections to this possible ID are gladly accepted.

Truck identification
I agree that it is a 39/40 Chevy with single rear wheels. Here is a picture of a 1939 Chevrolet fire truck from the web.

they are 1939/40 Chevs. I think I saw the faint outline of a vent on the side of the cowl which would make them Holden bodied ones.

AWM photo
This is of a 3 ton Maple Leaf Chev which has single rear wheels. The ordinary 3 ton Chev has the dual rear wheels but otherwise looks similar.
