There are more expensive and MUCH BETTER ways to lower the front than shortening the coil spring. The '74 springs changed from the factory depending on the engine ordered. I would shop for weaker springs first and then get shocks to match. I have a '54 and I will keep my solid axle and just upgrade the steering ball joints.
