My 67' Camaro has multi-leaf springs... It can be done.

you can buy a whole mono to multi leaf spring kit from classic industries. It's got (supposively) everything you'll need to switch them over. It's not that hard really.

The spring perch, is wider for multi leaf spring I believe. So that would have to be changed. Otherwise it has been done and is a good idea

The perch is actually deeper to off set the extra springs.
