Claus and Nathan, there are 2 spot in the movie that I've seen, there may be more if you really search.

First, shot I seen was at the ladys gas/snake station. Where Dennis gets in the phone booth the truck starts up and stars to roll. It shows the undercarriage just enough to see there isn't a rear drive axle if you pause it and slow motion it.
Second, shot is after the truck has went off the cliff. It shows the wreckage of the truck ontop of the car you can clearly see the tag axle there.

Also, when you get to see close side shots of the truck you can see that the rear axle has a grease hub cover, instead of the drive axle nuts holding the axle into the hub.

oztruck, man I hope my tanker turns out as awesome as yours
