Easiest thing to do would be to sell you chevy 203 and get a ford 203 (do they exist?) that has the drivers side front output shaft and you'd be set.
While Ford NP203s do exist that is NOT what you want if you are planning a doubler. Like you said you have what you need. If your Ford D60 is from a '78 or '79 the spring pads are in the right place, so you just need to worry about driveshafts & shocks. If its not you need to start measuring.

I talked to kyle.......I think at northwestfab about the same setup for my 72. He said it was best to use the chevy 203 box b/c you can clock the box and wont have the linkage issues. It will put the linkages on top. He also told me that I can choose what ever coupler I want. Fords have a 31 spline input, while most "doubler" cases use the 32 spline. I like his plates also b/c if you want to clock the 205 up or flat, you have the choice to do either. If you are in the market for the plates, I would give him a call. Very competitive price and very versitile.
