Rear leaf to Rear Coil conversion?????

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a '67 GMC c15 frame and am taking the body off for a 4wd truck that I'm building. I just found out that my wife's cousin has a '67 Chevy C10 that he's interested in selling, i.e., he'll make me a pretty good deal. The problem is that the frame on his truck is pretty rusty and has rear coils. The frame I have is really solid, but has rear leafs. I would like to swap the rear coil setup onto the rear leaf frame that I have (as well as doing a SWB conversion). Has anyone swapped from leafs to coils, and if so how difficult is the conversion? I want to swap it out so I can dump the '67 in the weeds with a 4.5"/4" drop.
Thanks
