The key to any good project lies in the quality of VICE GRIPS employed to get things stuck unstuck, or things that spin to stop spinning...

My opinion on the tie rods is probably the same as yours; something isn't kosher! Sounds like you have a lot of loosening, centering and retightening to do, but it will probably pay off.

I have a question: What made you drop all the suspension from the '68 and replace it with the newer stuff? The design is essentially the same. I'm not being difficult here; I'm curious as to the advantages... Good luck, man! I hope you get it all worked out.
