5 LUG TO 6 LUG on a rearend??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sorry if anyone wants to blaze me that's fine, it's still my truck and my project...

I've got my 69 truck and I was given a 72 rearend in good shape. I wanted it for the higher gearset. I really prefer a 6 lug, personal opinion. So I want to keep 6 lug... Can I swap my axleshafts and any related brake parts onto the 72 housing without messing with the gearsets? I did try a search but apparently nobody likes a 6 lug truck. Maybe it's the 4 wheeler in me, but I've got a ton of 6 lug wheels available and I just like them.

Thanks!
