c10-c20 a arms

does anyone know if there is a difference in the bolt size and spacing on the upper a arm cross shaft bushing where it mounts to the suspension xmember on a c20 vs c10

The shafts are larger as are the bushings and the A-arms use a larger ball joint that will not fit 1/2 ton spindles

what i'm trying to figure out is if i can adapt an aftermarket upper a-arm for a c10 to a c20
the ball joints are a bolt in so that doesnt matter but the cross shaft holes where it bolts to the xmember is the issue if there's no difference in the spacing and bolt size between the c10&20 then it will work
