WTB 5x5 bolt patern axles for a 12 bolt 68 chevy axle

Okay guys i want to convert my 12 bolt on my 68 chevy step to 5 on 5 lug. My front has that pattern from the disc brakes. I am not 100% sure what will work but I want to later convert to cadillac/camaro rear disc and a posi rear end.. I dont have the rear end apart so I can measure what I have but I think its the original 68 axles in it.. Just need 5 on 5 bolt pattern..
Thanks for any help.. I would also trade because I am very much on a budget..

The 63-69 Axles are shorter than the 70 (6 lug) to 72 (5 lug) axles. WES

I got mine off of a 73-87. Can't tell the difference.

if your rear is original, then you should look again.

ECE, (Early Classic Enterprises) sells conversion axles. That's the way to go.

I'll assume me as well. It's a stock rear and you are correct, it is off by a hair. I can see it because I know what to look for but most people aren't going to notice.

Here's a shot of front/back of my truck. As mentioned, I don't think you can tell the difference.
