yeah 8 minus 2 is 6  ;D

What are you trying to do? Swap in a 14 bolt and keep your existing wheels?

no, the answer to your question is no.  you can't make a full-floating 14-bolt a 6-lug.  but, like VZ's article, they do make a semi-floating 14-bolt in a 6-lug, originally came in the 1500 HD and some LD 2500's...
