5 lug axles in 6 lug diff....

I am new here and have my first question. I am sure it has been covered many times, but I obviously missed it. I have worked on these ole' trucks for thirty years or more, and am starting on a '68 chev. The guy I got it from had done lots of work, including swapping the front to 5-lug disc. He also gave me axles and drums to convert the rear to 5 lug also. All of my past experience has taught me this doesn't work. My question: are there any 5 lug axles out there that will work in the 6 lug differential, or, as I have in the past, do I need to swap out the complete differential? The axles I have are too long. Thanks for the help!
