a 14bolt out of a 73 up one ton has the correct spring pad width to bolt right up (40 inch) while a 3/4 ton will have wider pads at 42.5 inches. No six lug conversions that I am aware of though

You can use a semi floater 14 bolt with six lugs which is stronger than a 12 or 10 bolt but not a full floating axle. Not sure what the spring pad widths are on the semi floater are.
