Doubt it. GM changed the taper on the ball joint studs in the 70s. It may be physically possible to slide the later spindles over the early ball joints, but the mismatch in the tapers will overload the ball joint studs and could cause breakage.

Of course, I haven't even addressed the issue of front steer vs. rear steer...
