using 67-72 chevelle 5 lug disc??

sorry if this has been asked already,no results from search?
i traded a guy a set of tires today for a set of disc knuckles and 5 lug rear axles from a 67-72 chevelle,i was told would work on my 70 c10 2wd.I have never heard of this as an option,but traded the guy anyway b/c he needed the tires and seemed like an honest guy.And actually the parts were his dad's he had for a 69 c10 and never used,so all the info. he gave was from his dad about it working.Will this work,and if it will,what else do i need to make the swap-i know i will need rotors,calipers,caliper brackets,and wheel bearings,but not sure from where,and what ball joints would fit?

I would make sure the rear axles work first.

The above kit works with your drum brake spindles.

I would just do the normal 5x5 disc and axle swap if it was me.

Do you have 5x4.75 wheels for those chevelle rear axles?

no wheels for them.i actually have a set of 20" inch 6 lug wheels,but dont really want to use them.I just know there's more options w/ 5 lug and wanted front disc's.It was a spur of the moment decision.Not sure about the axles,i have a 12 bolt.not sure what rear end the axles fit.probably should have done my research first.The tires were free and getting in the way,so i figured it would'nt be a big loss if i could'nt use them.I have a buddy w/ a 72 chevelle so i figured maybe he could if i could'nt.
