You must have swapped the axles then. Ford Motor Company has never used a 6 bolt pattern. At least prior to 1996.
Your pattern on the other hand is called a 5x5 1/2 pattern. That is 5 bolt holes, 5 and a half inches across.

Matt, Thanks for making me aware that a 6 bolt pattern wasn't used prior to 1996. I just purchase the truck last month. The previous owner had said it had custom drive shafts but nothing about the axles.
