Spudrok, if those frets aren't completely worn down, you should probably just replace the neck. Those 70s teles are constantly going up in value, so I'd just put away the original neck in case I ever needed to sell the guitar.
Regardless of fretwire size, most luthiers remove the fretboard finish when replacing the frets, so make sure that you specify nitro- not poly- for the refinishing if you do decide to have the work done.
I just had my 52RI refretted with 6105s- a nice compromise between the narrow vintage and jumbos- and the thin nitro finish does feel alot nicer under my fingertips than the original thick, shiny finish.
