Hi all ... springs?

[darklord]

Hi all; I’m new here but I have been reading the bulletin board for some time. My wife has bean wanting a 60 – 63 truck for years, and last week I bought her a 62 on a 63 – 66 short wheel base frame. It is a total hunk of junk at this time but I’m hoping to rebuild it into something really great for her. I know one thing I want to do is install front disc brakes. And I understand all my options and the basic procedure, but what about the springs? If I just undo the A – arm won’t the spring fly out and bust me in the face like Mike Tyson? I have a set of spring compressors, but I don’t think they will work on this particular setup. Could any one tell me how to take this apart and keep myself in one piece? Thank you.
