I did that swap on my longhorn.....upper a arms will work,you need 71-72 1/2 ton lower a arms(to retain the old style bushings).then use the ball joints & outer tierod for the year of the 1/2 ton spindle spindle.If you are converting a 71-72,you should be ok on the rest of the steer link pcs......if 70 or older,you may have to change the center link & complete tie rod assys. 3/4 & 1/2 ton ball joints & tie rods ARE different,as is the size of the hole in the lower balljoint.I still have the original cross member in my longhorn. good luck ...69 longhorn.
