1977 3/4 ton swap to 1/2 ton suspension questions..

I have a 1977 Chevy c20 pickup . Question is do I need to swap the whole front suspension and k-member to change over to 1/2 ton or can I just swap upper & lower control arms with spindles ??? Rear I'm gonna swap axle and leaf springs as a set .. Want the 5x5 bolt pattern .

Everything from the a-arms out will work.
And use all of the 1/2-ton steering linkage.
