As far as I knew only 1/2 and 3/4 tons used torsion bars prior to '63. You learn something new every day! I know that in 1963 all trucks went to coil springs.
I do know for a fact that 1962 was the last year for ball bearings in the front spindles. They started using tapered roller bearings in 1963.
