axle mounting advice

[MidLifer]

I'm modernizing the driveline in my 1950 3100, I sourced an axle from a 1980 Z28 (3.42 posi) and am matching that to a T5. Up front I'm just doing a Speedways Disc kit and keeping the straight axle. I want a near-stock drive height, and will be running 15's and smoothies from Wheelsmith.

I have been looking through build threads and did a couple of searches on the forum but can't find this answer. Forgive me if this is one of the things that's been covered a million times. Can I merely cut the spring perches off the Camaro axle and fab up a plate and use U-bolts to attach it to the leaf springs, as the original axle is mounted? or is there another method of fitting the axle?

Thanks -
Jim
