I'm assuming you want to do this to the 78 in your gallery.
I just pulled the coils off my 78 last week. It's not that hard. Basically, jack the truck up by the frame until there's no load on the coils. Loosen the two bolts on the top that hold the spring retainer and adjust the jack until the springs are loose. Then just remove the bolts and turn the spring out of the bottom plate.
Hope this helps.
