I have been running one in my 6v Suburban for over two years. It used to be listed in their catalog and the part number was posted here a couple of time.
On a 6v system, make sure your battery cables are at least 1 or 1/0 and the starter and engine spin just fine. I now have 2/0 (00) cables for the positive cable (to the starter) and the negative ground cable (to the frame behind the battery box, but some people run a long ground cable from the battery to the bottom attachment bolt for the starter).
