GMC to Chevy frame swap

Is it possible to switch my 67 coil over frame over on to a 71 GMC frame? I understand that the leaf spring mount different than the coil over.... just needing to know if it can be done. My Chevy frame has a issue or two and I've found a GMC frame.

Thank you!!

My biggest concern was doing away with the leaf springs in the rear and converting it to accept coil springs.

My GMC suburban has coils just like my chevys do. The body's are the same so they will interchange regardless. The only issue that I can even remotely think of would be if the spring hanger interferes with the spare tire well
