I believe that this is a Korean War era predecessor to the "M" series 530 model of fire trucks.
The original prototype run was built for the USAF on a CCKW chassis. It was followed by M-series vehicles in the 530A thru 530D.
Most pictures I have seen of CCKW 530's were on the bolster style single wheels and larger tires.
It certainly is an interesting custom configuration.

Looks kinda like the one at the Pima Air Museum in Tuscon, 'course I haven't been there in 25 years 
Anyhoo, it's a good looking truck. Always good to see different configurations of the CCKW.
