Hmm... so 74C where only 5V? Could you maybe crosscheck it (pleeease)?
Then I could maybe replace them with 74HC...

 EaSED> 2. Assume all 4000A and 4000B are usable from 3v to 15v.

At least RCA's 4000A will only accept 12V as recommended Vss!

 EaSED> 3. There are a few 74HC4000 types--assume they are 5v only.
