Exciting day in the shop - Gravelkings arrived and have been mounted. The 43mm front went on without issue, using a compressor. The 38mm rear didn't want to seat until I turned the pressure up to shock it on. Then, no problem. Both fit with reasonable clearance to the frame. I'll have to wait until later this week to see how they play with the brakes.
Also in the pics - Crank Bros Candy 3 Pedals - got a deal on ebay. I've been using the eggbeaters on my roadbike and figured the slight platform of the Candy might be more gravel friendly.
I replaced the upper headset with a silver version that has no cable stop. To be thorough I replaced the lower as well. I removed the crown race using non-marring pry tools. To replace it I will get a length of PVC or similar.
