I think i hear a consensus. Replace kingpins, tie rods(at least the ends, bearings, leaf springs and hardware. I should be ok. Add disc brakes (at leastvthe front), and sway bar, i should be better than just ok.

Probably need to replace the idler and piman as well?

I read no regrets from anyone about not replacing the original 58 front end with coil overs.
