I've got a lead on a C20 leaf spring frame to replace my rotten coil spring frame. Can I convert the leaf spring frame to a coil spring frame by removing my riveted in cross members from my old frame and bolting them to the leaf spring frame, or are the frames different in other ways, too? I'd like to be able to use my axle and suspension if I can.
