I think there were Ford photos from the era with the spoilers fitted, it would have hidden the leaf spring mounts etc.
They did use Jeep transfer case, diff etc. The main reason they didn't continue with it from what I have read is that the leaf spring mounts fed loads into areas of the body shell that were not designed to take them, basically it was too expensive to design the body intended for coils to take leaf front suspension for the number of sales. Goldie is right too, they used the 6cyl tilted to make room for the front diff, together with the 3 speed manual.
