I believe the upper arms are different. The heavier truck has bigger studs sticking out of the side of the frame where the shims go. You may can just use the heavy arm with the 1/2 ton balljoint, but I have no firsthand experience swapping them.

Just a thought: You might be able to press the A-arm studs out and swap them.
