It seems like if you move the front spring perch far enough you could still use the back one as-is. and can't you modify the top spring leaf so the the centering pin still lines up with the axle?
What if you reversed the shackles and the moved the shackle perch all the way in to mount the chevies?

Easiest would be to buy/make new spring hangers. The front hanger has that funky bolt that is 19mm. The holes in the chevy bushings are 9/16" so that bolt is too big to reuse, which means that the spring hanger would have to be modified and you might as well buy new hangers. You could re-use the rear shackle hanger but not the shackles for the same reason of the larger, fixed bolts on the shackle (new shackles would be easy to make).
The centering pin goes though all the leaves in a pack so to move that pin you would need to drill a new hole through all the leaves to the spot you want to position the axle on that spring pack. However I'm not crazy about drilling another hole in a spring pack.
I'm not understanding the last question yet.
