upper control arms

ok so what is the big difference with lower ball joints between drum and disc. just wondering because I have a few parts for a 69 barracuda I cant use, can I use them on a 66 dart that has front drum brakes
The mounting bolt hole diameter.
1/2 inch Drum brakes.
9/16 inch Disc brakes.
Drum brake ball joints can be drilled out to 9/16, if you can find a bit that big.
