Remove front coils when front end out of truck?

Hey all. Sorry for the clunky title; seemed to be a tough one to boil down to a few words.

I want to tear down the old front-end assembly from my '69 C20 (with HD springs) which I've removed from the truck which makes the trick of putting the truck on jackstands and using a floorjack under the lower control arm moot.

I tried using an internal coil spring compressor but the one I found didn't quite fit inside the spring and I didn't feel safe about MAKING the thing work (though I may need to go this route in the end).

Any suggestions? I'd prefer to avoid one that are likely to end with "here, hold my beer" or "hey ya'll watch this!"

Thanks!

Greg
