No, 12V in parallel, sometimes it's hard to get a good earth with a second chassis mount or one battery would drain the other down due to the same earthing / charging problems.
Earlier model truck has a single larger 12V 120amp 1000cca battery, just a better setup.
Jap trucks above, my KW uses 2 12V 1100cca Delkor in series 24v start 12v run.
