Coil spring (front) question

I did a search on this but did find a definative answer. I am converting my 65 GMC to 5 lug (disc brakes) with parts from an 87 Suburban. Question is, will coil springs for a 67-72 work in the 87 control arms? I found a good deal on a set for 67-72 models (thats why I am asking). thanks
