Find or borrow a standard diff. Temp bottom arm terminating with a plate and bolt or tack weld plate to leaf spring perch. Similar for your watts link pick up or panhard. Couple of blocks of wood wrapped in rag as springs and you should be right.
Cheers.

Read it again Brent. You use the bottom pick up point at the chassis, fabricate a temporary arm that will splay out to the leaf spring perch on the donor diff. You may not even need to support it laterally if there is enough angle on the arms.
