47-59 Steering arms and tie rods.

[1project2many]

I'm working on a project to install 3/4 ton steering arms in my 1/2 ton truck. I can't seem to find the right information. I believe 1/2Ton trucks use ball studs on tie rod ends. The studs are swaged into the steering arms and can only be removed by drilling. But 3/4 ton trucks use tapered seats in the steering arms.

So it should be possible to install 3/4 ton arms on the 1/2 ton truck by (1) installing ball studs in the 3/4 ton arms or (2) changing tie rod ends. If I were to go with option 2, are the tie rods the same diameter between 3/4t and 1/2t trucks?
