Anything is possible, you will need to add leaf spring mounts to the frame.
One thing to consider is your front axle will be 8 lug and your rear will be 5 lug. It will make rotating the tires a little difficult.

Depending on how much fabricating you are willing to do, it may end up being a lot of work. What year is the donor truck? Is this going into you 1991 F-150?
Note that F-250's made from 1980 to 1998 use a TTB front axle and aren't solid.
