I was going to suggest that too. I converted my 69 from 3/4 ton leaf to 1/2 ton coil. You should be able to get the parts used pretty cheap, but there are a few crossmembers you have to remove along with the leaf spring hangers. All are attached with rivets, which can be a pain, especially if you don't have an air chisel.
