Wear parts on plows are EXPENSIVE, period.
Even worse is there are no parts available for that plow from a reliable source, at any price. You might find an odd new-old-stock share on Ebay once every couple of years, or some used parts, but that's about it.
The problem is there are so many different bottoms from that era, you can easily end up spending a lot of money on the wrong parts, too.
What to do depends on what you plan on doing...
Parade-only: Paint it up and don't worry about it.
A few rounds at a plow day once a year: Unless things are completely worn to the nub, and there is literally nothing left, it will last a long time as-is.
Worn out, and/or plowing several acres a year: Upgrade the bottoms to the newer Super Chief style by locating a newer parts plow and transferring the bottoms to this plow. They will bolt right on with 2 or 3 bolts per bottom.
Super Chief plow parts are still widely available, because CaseIH still sells plows with Super Chief bottoms.
