One thing i was trying to figure out was if the king pin inclination angle is rotated back x amount of degrees in relation to a vertical axis created by the flange mounting holes, to give it the static castor.
If so then it would be feasible to switch the swivel balls to opposite sides then mount them as to give yourself positive castor then rotate them back then drill the new mounting holes. this would allow you to drill into fresh metal and not have to worry about plugging holes. Also i measured the center distance between each hole and it is 18.5 degrees and about 10.5 is the min rotation to allow metal to fully encompass a newly drilled hole.
Another route we are looking at is to fab up some relocated and dropped radius arm frame mounts. solves everything but the driveshaft angles, but would be alot easir purely from a fab point. We are poor college students so time, tools, and steel is what we have, just not money.
what ever we end up doingto his d1 i will be doing to my 91 RRC as well, considering i will have the rest of his old 4" lift on mine.
