you can, but I would use a ladder bar coilover set up rather than a leaf spring.

I would use a ford 9in with coliovers and ladder bars if I were you,easy to find,many gear ratios and EASY to change pumpkins.Disk brakes easy.I will be pulling a 12 bolt with ladder bars from a 63 lemans convert in the next month or so.3.55 posi.Will be putting in a narrowed early pontiac.Tom
