I want to convert my 1/2 ton C10 to a 3/4 ton C20.

Will an Eaton (10 bolt?, it has the gears that come out the front and a bolt on rear cover w/ fill plug) swap in place of my 5 lug 1/2 ton axle? Is the u-bolt spacing in the control arms the same? Will my 1/2 ton panhard work with the eaton?

Will 3/4 ton ball joints work in my 1/2 ton a-arms or will I need 3/4 ton a-arms? Will '73 to '87 spindles work with my '72 1/2 ton control arms?

Would it be better to just sell the 1/2 ton and buy a 3/4 ton?
