Hollanders shows the following front coil springs will interchange:
BLAZER/JIMMY (full size) 69-82 Front
CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 63-93 Front
CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 63-87 Front
CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 88-91 Front; VIN model "R"
CHEVROLET VAN 64-95 Front
CHEVROLET VAN 96 Front; exc. Express
GMC FORWARD CONTROL 67-93 Front
GMC PICKUP TRUCK 67-87 Front
GMC PICKUP TRUCK 88-91 Front; VIN model "R"
GMC VAN 67-95 Front
GMC VAN 96 Front; exc. Savana
SUBURBAN 63-87 Front
SUBURBAN 88-91 Front; VIN model "R"

The only difference is the spring rate. They were available in the following:
328150 3947 lb. $98
3935895 4241 lb. $112
15680287 4563 lb.(fwd. cont.) $62
328098 5026 lb. $119
328100 5407 lb. $123
14054344 5647 lb. $130
15731950 6306 lb. $129
15731951 6326 lb.(van) $130

Various tensions available; interchange in pairs only.

So, a set of coil springs off a 73 will work on a 72 but the spring rate could be different.
