I know metal gets less reliable over time. The car is a 72 with 53k original miles on it. Should I replace these or clean up and reuse?

Unless you 'want' to spend some dollars on the really trick rods, I'd clean them up and use only rubber strut rod bushings. I have had one break after installing the crappy Midoline bushings (I hadn't heard the warnings at the time)...so Moog rubber only.
