...to pretty much any ordianry half ton, but I think we've seen this week what happens if you overload the steering knuckle..... I've never seen a 3/4 ton with duals on though.
I've seen a few pictures of GMC 6 x 6s with dualed up fronts, but without exception the tyres on the outside were really worn and bald, so I think they chose them deliberatly to they only made contact with the ground when the front started to sink. A guy I know tried it with a CCKW and apparently it was almost unusable with really solid steering.
