Gary-
I'm working on the same stuff myself. A few things to think about, and I figured it out the hard way rather than thinknig about the theory on the 6th neck. So, somebody check my work, I might be wrong spelling these chords.
C6 strummed open without the fattest string is a huge Fmaj9, right? (F A C E G A C E G, yes I'm a communist G-tuner) So, that's the IVmaj9 right there. By that rationale, if you want to substitute for an E6 chord on your front neck, go to the fret where you'd normally play a 4 chord (A, or 5th fret), lower your E's to get an Amaj7, and you've got the equivalent of an E6 chord straight across the fretboard (lower strgs 2&9 for maj9 chord)
Use your I, IV, V relationship accordingly, a B6 is open or 12th fret with E's lowered, and an A6 is at the 10th fret, same grip and lever.
Ok so using that, say you're in the gear of G on the E9th neck and want to play some I6, IV6 and V6 chords. Every string but string 9 (b7 or f note on 3rd fret) with the A pedal down gives you a Gmaj9 add6 (or add13, depending on how you feel), so there's your I (G6) chord. IV chord (C6) is A&B pedals on strings 10 + 8 thru 4, same fret. V (D6) chord is same fret, with your E's lowered with that same lever.
Hope this helps, and please y'all out there don't criticize me too much, I'm still learning this stuff as I go.
