Yes, it's not only possible, it's done quite often. Just need to get an axle that will go under it with the leat amount of fuss. I've installed straight axles in half a dozen cars and never done the frame stub thing myself. I always reused the stock frames.
Here's a picture of Jeff's 1956 Chevy gasser with an axle installed in the stock frame and spring pockets, etc. all intact. Often you can even reuse the shock towers to locate the new shock setup with a little imagination.
