10 to 10.5 inch front disk swap

Am I correct in assuming the calipers for the 10 and 10.5 inch front disc are different? To swap to the larger does the spindle part need to be swapped too?

With the exception of the 1LE, all thirdgens are equipped with 10.5" rotors and iron Delco-Moraine calipers.
