It sounds like the 6K might be referring to 6,000 pounds although I cannot be 100 percent sure on that. I could tell you for sure if you could tell me the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped in to the bearings.

A 7K axle will use inner bearing 25580 or 28580 and outer bearing 14125A, 15123, or 25580.

A 6K axle will use inner bearing 25580 or 501349 and outer bearing 14125A, 15123, 506849, or LM67048.

A 5200 pound axle will use inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 14125A, 15213, or LM67048.

You can see there is a lot of overlap there. Also a 12 x 2 inch drum is common on all 3 sizes. Check the axle itself for a plate or something stamped into it. Dexter axles will have information on them somewhere.
