Rear end swap

I am preparing to remove the original rear end and leaf springs from my '56 Panel and install the 8 3/4 Chrysler rear and leaf springs from my old '56 pickup. I guess new tapered bolts(?) that retain the shackle(and front eye) would be a good idea? I don't think I've ever been able to remove old ones without damaging them.
