If you swap out the side gears in the diff to the later 30 spline, you can use the '71-'76 axles. They will need shortened a bit due to the width difference, and regrooved for the C locks. I don't recall the exact dimension, perhaps 1/2" per axle? Then use the drums from the 5 lug axle with your existing brake assebley.
