Have you looked at the rear cab mounts? They are very strange and I think you would have to remove the whole floor and fab new mounts for the rear of the cab. Why not just lower it, that is what I did with mine. Drop axel and lowering blocks in the rear . Nice looking truck.

Here is mine. Unfortunately for sale. These pics are with a '79 Firebird front clip, but it sat almost as low with the drop axle.

nice truck she is low really like it. haven't decided what to do yet . got to get it low to the ground lower the better thanks for pics

You are welcome for the pics. I think if keeping straight axle, you can get different springs for the front and a drop axle. That should get you where you want. If you swap to a IFS like me, that is the way mine sits with stock suspension, and you get disk brakes, power steering and it sits low without much else. Good luck whichever way you go.
