It could just be a long wheel base type thing and if it has the vertical guards. They can be removed. I refer to these series are "bumper cars" due to the prominence and similarity to the amusement variety. First to go in a custom.
I don't know of any reason not except where you going to find some rear air shocks that fit? It so difficult to find anything by dimension any more as everything is year, make, model, indexed. Packard is not even showing up now on a lot of places that used to before the epidemic. You'd have to adapt something - not very difficult.
Air Bags usually go on coil spring mounts and these are most likely leaf spring. a four link air ride conversion with bags, is a bit much for a tub but doable.
Sagging or broken leaf is most common, if they sit. Two solutions would be new leaf springs or re-arching, if intact. Search the posts on here for sources. Been discussed a lot. Someone will probably chime in with a source anyway.
