You can use a droping resistor,available from many or the old car parts dealers.
I try to talk people out of having me do the 12 volts convertions, I feel it's really not restoring the radio , and someday someone going to find out why this car is having troubles starting on 6 volts, convert the car back and then you've got a radio that needs to be converted back!
OK now for your question, yes , Change the power transformer, vibrator and then you need 12 heater tubes ,for that set it might be a bit hard to find ,so you can put the heater's of two tubes at a time in series, or a droping resistor just in the filament circut
