    Hard top seals?

    Not in my opinion it channels water back to the cab because the round bead on the outside wont let the water drain straight down the back of the cab I use camper tape on all my trucks and it works great it even comes in black.

    Missing front spring set parts

    I would find a set of those wedges that go between the spring and axle they line your pinion up with the TC so you wont have such a sharp angle to your driveline. I used them in the trucks I bobbed and glad I did I know a guy in wisconsin that can set you up with a set or two..

    Hard top seals?

    Use camper tape it works much better than the original seals the bead on the original seal directs rainwater toward the seam instead of away from it making more rust issues.

    Design flaws? Torque rod, split rims?

    Back in the 70s and 80s you couldnt find a rim without a lock ring back then things required more diligance like checking for low tires before you drove away or you would spin a 25 dollar tube cutting it to ribbons or at the least ripping off the valve stem.

    The engine might have a lot of blowby judging by the oil on the driver side of the front axle watch how much vapor comes from the road draft tube when its running.
