I'm not the authority and you should measure but if they are both 12 bolts then the 70 6 lug is likely more narrow than the 5 lug. If they are both the same suspension set up, coils and trailing arms, then the whole 12 bolts should interchange, but not just the axles. The axles will be different lengths. You could bolt in the complete 5 lug 12 bolt or buy conversion 5 lug axles for the 6 lug 12 bolt. I got the conversion axles on amazon for 150 bucks If i remember right.
