I have new lower ball joints for a drum brake application with 1/2" holes. Can I simply enlarge the holes to 5/8" to work with 73+ disc brakes? Is the a physical difference in the shape, etc?

I had my 1969 drum spindles resized for the 73 and newer sized ball joint. RMS did it for me.

I guess that I'll have some drum brake ball joints for sale soon then.

You are talking about the tapered hole for the upper stud, right?
I thought the OP was talking about the lower ball bolt holes

Yep, bolt holes on the ball joint.
