It will bolt in place of the 10 bolt, but it will be 8 lugs.

There was not a factory 6 lug version for these trucks.

There is no 6 lug axles or hats that work with the 8 lug parts that will "bolt on" that specific housing.

You can convert it to 6 lug axles and use 1500 series disc brakes like I have done in the past. But it requires some machining and fabrication skills.

See this thread. 14 bolt 2500LD or 1500HD housing custom 6 lug build
