Re: rearend length
Width I heard is different. I believe 5 lug axles are longer to match up with the wider disc front crossmembers.

Re: rearend length
Some six lugs are the same length/width. The change happened in the 70 year. most prior to mid 1970 were 1.5" narrower that the 5 lug and later model 70 6 lugs. I am told the difference ws to make the front and rear tracks the same when the disc-brakes became an option/standard.
