There has never been a 3/4 dually from the factory. The 250/2500 class has always been single rw unless converted.

That is incorrect. Chevrolet and GMC offered dual rear wheels on 3/4 ton trucks from the mid '50s to around 1971 as a factory installed option. RPO 282.

I know of a few other non 1 ton dual wheel trucks that are factory as well. The CJ Jeeps had a factory dual wheel option as well. Very rare. Consisted of a Spicer 70 rear axle, 16" dual wheels, and a heavier rear spring setup. Their intended purpose was for Jeeps equipped with either a post hole digger or a trencher.

This kit has super realistic dually type wheels, but they are the uncommon  6 hand holes with 8 lugs. Would look nice if converted to 6 lugs for use on 50's to mid 60's Ford and Dodge 1 tons. 1/32 scale large truck wheels  look good on a 1/25 small truck.

These "Just Trucks" issues from Jada are marvelous.....Along with the old AMT Dodge Duallie......And a die cast moving van I acquired in a trade....Not sure if it qualifies, but it is a duallie.....And, of course, let's not forget the Meng F-350....(With aftermarket assistance, anyway) Not sure if that qualifies, either..... ^_^ And the Monogram Ford F-350....
