Dana 60 swap into 72 C20

I've used this search function on the site regarding 2wd to 4wd conversions and have found some good info but haven't been able to get the whole thing figured out.

So to simplify....Does anyone make a kit (universal or custom) to do a solid axle swap into a 3/4 ton 2wd truck?

What length leaf springs? I want to retain a leaf set up that would be similar to what a 3/4 ton truck would have, but doesn't have to be period correct to 67-72.

-No truck donor will be used. Only new parts
-Not worried about steering or T-case, just spring and axle installation
-Not worried about ride quality

I came across this link (below) but it shows for 52" springs which I believe are for 1/2 ton pick ups.

I've got the axle and T-case already. The truck is a customer camper with a leaf sprung dana 60 rear. I converted the truck years ago to a cummins 5spd set up.
