You probably have an older axle from a '70 or older half ton. You could change the axle to a '71 or newer or you may be able to use axle shafts and brake drums from an older truck. Be sure to compare the parts to ensure fit b4 you buy them as there are some variations.

I believe that to be correct mine is a 5 0n 5 bolt pattern.
