Yes, it's definitely possible, I do it all the time. I've used both
SecureCRT and Entunnel from VanDyke (Entunnel is designed precisely for
this), and also ssh.com's non-commercial ssh version to do this. All these
products require fairly intuitive gui configurations.

On Linux and MacOS X I do it with the following command:

ssh -2L 3128:<squid>:3128 <squid>

where <squid> should be substituted with the squid box's hostname. The
settings for squid don't matter, as long as your allowed clients are set up
correctly.

Well, OK, they matter, but the point I'm trying to
make is that squid doesn't know or care about the tunnel.

I'd check your squid log for more info on the 403 forbidden...
