Yes, the inline 6 and the 4.3 V6 both use the same bellhousing pattern.

These trucks came with the V6 in the mid-to-later 80's (I don't know what year exactly, but remember working on them), so the factory did the work for you. You should be able to find any needed parts without fabricating anything.
