Rims, or Axles? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a real nice set of 5 bolt centerline wheels with brand new tires on them from another project. I would like to use them on my 68 C10 2WD. The problem is my truck has 6 lug axles. Would it be cheaper to find new hubs&axles, or buy new rims and tires. If I could find a donor vehicle, do 5 and 6 lug axles have the same number of splines/length/ diameter? What years/model would be a direct fit? If the answer is no to all, does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced new/used 6 lug wheels? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
