Would like to change my 1972 c10 5 lug front spindles to 8 lug...

[72timemachine]

Long story short I am putting diesel in my 1/2 ton and I already have a Dana 60 with 411's which came out of a low mileage c20. I am not going to be doing anything too macho with the truck, just want the mileage and longevity.

I have some 8 lug factory spindles I can use. Is it just a matter of swapping over the 1/2 ton ball joints over to 3/4 ball joints? Can I use the same tie rod ends?

Thanks for any help and if you know of a thread that address this please let me know.
