The other option would be new axles with the 5x5 bolt pattern. One of my trucks that I am using the parts off of, the PO said he put 70 5 lug axles in the 65 housing. He said 70 disc only had the narrower rear with 5 lug. I looked at it and the axles don't stick out like when I tried 71 and up 5 lug axles in my 65 Burb. Again that's what he said so I don't know for sure but the work fine in my 65 swb, Except for the bent frame I discovered today!

Any competent machine shop should be able to take your original 6-lug axles, weld up the holes and redrill them for the 5-lug pattern. Should cost less than $100 depending on your area.

agree with smbrouss70 ----but don't bother welding the holes. center 5 so that it only interferes with 1 of the 6 holes and only weld at that spot. The weld is hard to machine and gains little. Flanges have to be turned down for the smaller drum center.
