Sort of bad news there - brass shavings from the synchros would be understandable. At this point, maybe flush it out again and just run it until it fails. Are the bearings noisy? They may be soon.

Unless they changed a lot for the '73's, the Wagon came with 4.3:1 rear end WITH THE STANDARD, and 4.1:1 with the automatics. So, you could find a 4.1:1 fairly easy. Most folks opt for the overdrive tranny for better (quieter) distance-running. You could solve two concerns at once by fitting an overdrive transmission.
