@Speedster- Here is a thread on a repair I have used.  Really clean and inexpensive. Just requires drilling one small hole.  I used SS hardware.

1978 it is.
Only thing is the leg socket. Any suggestions?

Congrats to this nice find!
Dont screw it. I would drill a hole in the bowl, clean and sand the socket where is in contact with bowl. Afterwoods do some weldingspots.
