Maybe change the sparkplugs?

cops? did you change the spark plugs or the coils?
Swap # 6 & 1 coils to 2 other cylinders, see if the missfire's
migrate with them.

Do not keep driving the truck in this condition or you stand to burn both sides cats.
Then you will be in for more than 2 cylinders missfiring for cost and hassle.
Non firing cylinders burns gas in the cats and can melt them.
Good luck.

I agree Bluegrass
With 2 misfiring cylinders the CEL should of been flashing

Same issue
 
I had much the same issue. Changed the plugs and the problem was solved.
