12 Bolt Brake/Axle Mismatch

Hey guys, I have an issue with a '67 I picked up the other day. I've been slowly going through it to make sure it's going to be reliable 'till I get a chance to really get into it. The truck has been pieced together from a few other trucks.

I put wheels and tires on it the other day at Discount Tire and one of the lugs started spinning and wouldn't tighten. Cut it off today and when I pulled the drum to put the new stud in I saw it was only contacting part of the shoe. Step in the shoe liner, untouched half of drum(see pics).

It's currently 5 lug. I'm guessing the PO stuck in some later longer axle shafts for the 5 lug. The axle flange sits pretty far away from the bearing. Need some input on where to go now. Should I be able to get the shorter ones...plug and play... or is there more involved?

Lets not get into all the wrong body parts discussion, lol. Unless someone has some fenders and a radiator support in Colorado. Already have a hood.

Any help would be apreciated
