1/2 ton rear axle 5 lug & 6 lug interghange

I have a 1987 1/2 2wd 5 lug truck with 2.73 gear rearend and a friend just gave me a 1/2 4wd 6 lug rearend with 3.73 gears and a gov lock. My questions is do the parts interchange between the two rearends? Can I swap axles or can I swap carrier with ring n pinion? I havent had time to measure so I'm not even sure if they are the same width. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
