Default 5-sp swap for 6-sp?

I have a 99 3500 4x4 dually with a 5 speed manual. Is it possible to do a straight swap from the 5 speed to a 6 speed? Just wondering. Thanks.

Sure can man all your gonna need is a flywheel and clutch and the trans and your good to go. The nv5600 has a 13.25 clutch the nv 4500 has a smaller clutch. You may need new slave cylinder but not 100% on that.
