new 3500 ram
I am thinking about buying a 2017 3500 dodge ram. What do I need to do to transfer my hatch over to that truck.

If you're bound and determined to use a rail-mounted hitch and the truck has the factory prep package (pucks), then yes, the picture frame adapter is what you'll need. Bear in mind that even the 4x2 Rams sit higher than your 2006 plus the picture frame adapter will raise the hitch even more, so you may be challenged to get the 6" minimum bed rail clearance you need without winding up nose high on the 5th wheel.
I use the puck mounted B&W Companion RVK3600 set as low as it will go, the Trailair Triglide pinbox set as high as it will go and have 2" factory risers between the 5th wheel's MorRyde independent suspension and frame and I'm still a bit nose high, but our 2016 Ram is a 4x4.

Good advice!! There is often hitch height issues using the pic frame adapter. IMO, sell current hitch, save the cost of adapter, and purchase puck ready hitch like Rusty has.
