Yes it will all bolt right in so long as it all comes from another PW. The rearend may require a shorter shaft. The joints are most likely the same unless you get a 3/4 ton with the big joints(good luck) but then you can either convert to either joint or buy a conversion joint. but I wouldn't worry about it. All your steering will work the same and the brakes will work fine. It may be easier for you to just swap the knuckles off the 3/4 ton front end onto the 1/2 ton front end. The actual differential housing is the same. It's just from the ball joints out thats different.
