I don't know the answer to your question but where did you get the axles? I am interested in doing the same thing to my 69 c10. Thanks.

As long as they snugly fit over your year brake shoes and the depth is the same it doesn't really matter.
so measure the diameter and the depth and your good to go.

Re: 5 lug rear drums...?
I think they will have to be for the same diameter and brak shoe width or they will not set on the axle register properly. The 70 I am working on right now has a 2" wide shoe, dont remember the diameter though. I just had the axles welded up,had the register partially turned down to fit the 5-lug wheel but still center the drum , redrilled in 5on5 pattern and had the drums drilled to match
