I guess the question would be will the splines line up? or will I need new axles? Thank you!

Jason take a 2nd to look at the top front of the passenger side axle tube on both rear ends for the #'s & letters stamped into it where it meets the pumpkin. Then post them as since you have a 1970 the axle on a 1970 6lug stock truck were the same as the 71-72 in length so since you have 5lug rear now someone may have pulled your original 6 lug axles and installed 5 lug 71-72 axles. 1970 was the only year where this was the only thing that needed done to switch to 5 lug. Now if the posi-trac rear ends good and that 6 lug is a 1970 rear-end you could just swap out axles & have the leaf spring perches removed and the coil spring put on it.
