Yes, I have been doing it to my 68 for the last 33 years with no problems. The wood prevents "denting" of the crossmember.
You can also raise the rear by placing the jack directly under the rear end housing and lifting that way.
I also jack the sides by grabbing the frame at the crossmember (near the middle of the door) and then jack up one side of the car at once so I can place jack stands under. These frames are pretty sturdy (unless you have lots of rust).

I use the wood block under the front crossmember procedure. I use the side to side for the rear, only because I cannot get past the spare tire to jack it up under the diff. The frames on these cars flex alot, and I dont like to bend them anymor than necessary.
