Training Wheels ?
Those wheels in the back were a "drop axle" to assist GVWR when an long camper was loaded onto the truck. One of the major camper manufacturers in the early '70s used to add that type of axle to help with the rear overhang when long (11' to 12') campers were installed. (If memory serves me, I believe it was Travel Queen campers that did this).
