Think it's new neck time...any suggestions?

Well, my '97 am. std. tele is overdue for a refret, and she's sporting a stripped truss rod nut from a friend's hack job some years back, and I'm not really in love with the skinny neck and big frets anymore...so i think it might be time for a new neck...

But I'm not really sure where to go. I'd like to go vintage-y specs, and i like warmoth's prices and policies...but i'm not sure on some stuff...

I'd essentially like to pirate the tuners off the old neck--they always worked great...but what size is the tuner hole for a mid-late 90's american standard?

For those of you who have re-necked a tele, what's your advice? and thanks in advance.
