Coil versus Leaf Spring 2WD Frame Question

I've been looking for a shortbed frame to replace my long bed and I think I finally located one but I'm not sure if it was coil or leaf (I have submitted the question to the seller).

If it is leaf, can I source a new coil cross member and replace the leaf one?

Any other differences I need to be aware of like engine cradle, etc? I already know not to get a 67 frame since it does not have the dimple for power steering.

This is the frame:
