Dana 70 question

I have a Dana 70 from an old motorhome and I want to swap it in place of my Dana 60 rear. The problem I have is that the wheel studs on the 70 are HUGE (at least 9/16") compared to my 60 front. Is there any way to change them to make them the same as my 60 front?

I'm not exactly sure what year it was. I would say it was probably mid 70s. It's has 8 studs and "70" cast into the lower right support web on the center section.

I was hoping it may be a 6 lug. I have a dana 70 under my 58 ton
and it has 6 large studs. You may be able to change the hubs and drums to match your front axle.
