Axle Swap Heavy Half

So my dad swapped out the rear axle in the family 59 with a 1980ish Heavy Half rear axle to get a higher gear ratio.
It fit very well and he swapped out the 5 bolt axles with 4x4 6 bolt axles to keep the original 6 bolt rims. (It's only about an 1 1/2" wider than the original.)
Can anyone tell me what the 6 bolt axles would be from?
I need a speedy sleeve and want to get the right one.
