12 bolt rear question

i have a 12 bolt 5 lug rear in my 71 chevy cheyenne, that has a bad carrier.
the locking bolt for the cross pin broke and it wallowed the pin hole out in the carrier.
now i have another 12 bolt from a 70 model that is a posi and measures the same width from backing plate to backing plate. but its a six lug.
can i use my old axles and brake drums in the new rear?
is there anything to watch out for when changing the axles in the posi rear?
can i mess up the springs or clutches changing out the axles ?
any insights or comments on this swap would be appreciated.
thanks, Tony
