Look at the way the front wheel is centered in the wheel well, I say deuce.

2 quick ways to tell it is a deuce, the front fenders (with wheels being centered) and second, look at the position of the air intake mushroom. On the deuce its right in front of the exhaust, on the 5 tons it is run up toward the front.

FWIW, that is an ugly setup. The truck appears every so often on epay.

I hate to be critical of someone elses ride, but that thing is UGLY. I feel bad for the truck.

Rather odd looking, kind of like when you see a midget. On the plus side, it would be hard to get that Deuce high-centered out in the sand when cresting the peak of a sand dune though.

That deuce was on Ebay about a year ago. I thought that if not pretty, it was definitely interesting. I wonder how well it steers?

Cheers
