If I have a torque wrench that works for a 5/16" hex head, but now I have a
hex head that is 3/8" in size, is it possible to use the same torque wrench
with some sort of an adapter?

I went to the big box store looking for an adapter but I could not find one.
I have a set of sockets that includes a 3/8" head but that would not help me
in using that T handle torque wrench that would release at 60#-in.

I seems I need a piece that on one end it is a 5/16" hex head and the other
side is a square head to insert into my 3/8" socket. Is there such a thing?

Thanks in advance,

JCWhitney.com has a set of three adapters that do everything you could
need. They don't include 3/8" drive to 1/4" socket because every 3/8'
set has one, but they include the opposite of that and both directions
beween 3/8 and 1/2

Maybe the set was on sale when I bought it but it was about 2 dollars.
It's obviously worth a lot more than that if you don't have the
adpater you need.

I would think Sears and even HD , and certainly Snap-on, if you can
find one of their trucks would all have these also, but at a higher
price.
