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

The upper studs are larger so the shafts are different.
The C20 upper arms have the HD type bushings which are different vs C10's after 72.
1/2 ton BJ's will swap right over to the C20 arms.
Lower arms are different (larger OD ball joint) & again the HD bushings.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
