3/4 Ton Frame 60-62 vs 63-66

I understand that the frame on a 63-66 3/4 ton is stronger than a 63-66 1/2 ton frame.
Of course the springs are bigger on the 63-66 3/4 tons.

But what about the 60-62's?

Are the 3/4 ton 60-62 frames stronger than the 60-62 1/2 ton frames?

Also, what about the torsion bars up front?
Are they stronger on the 3/4 tons than they are on the 1/2 tons?

I don't know the answer to your question, but here's a bump for you.

I do know that the '60-'62 1 tons had coil springs up front instead of torsion bars.
