ECE makes a conversion spindle to do exactly what you want to do.
Check out www.earlyclassic.com.

Re: 1 ton to 1/2 ton 2wd spindle question
You could also swap out your upper balljoint and outer tie rod ends.
You need to swap lower balljoints also,... but that will require you to change the lower a-arms to the 1/2 ton version. (they have a smaller ball joint hole) This will allow you to use off the shelf 73-87 drop spindles or oem stock spindles.
