OK, reading over some '62 Chevy 80 Brochures and the '62 Chevy truck link below, Chevy did offer the '62 C-80 and M-80 (tandem) along with a few others, a 9,000 Lb and an 11,000 Lb I-Beam Front Axle as an Option.
Reading further, I see that they offered 3 Front Axles for their Heavys. A Standard Torsion Bar, a Heavy Torsion Bar and the I-Beam.
Info on it can be found here on pages 56, 61, 62 and 64. The whole 149 pages are all quite interesting:
