It will say 6.0 on the block behind the flywheel on the passenger side at an angle in the flywheel area. If you are going to run a 4l60 and the truck had a 4l80 there is a spacer between the flywheel and crank you will need to tap off. Just use a scraper and tap it between the two and use the shorter flywheel bolts.
