i can't believe no one has said anything about the suggested 18 x 18 kick. Ha good luck with that. I would try and get my hands on a 20 wide x 14 deep. At least something not as deep as the 18.

I think the sound of the drums themselves will get you much further then anything else.

Oh and I am sure Tape was used as well which is probably a huge part of the sound. Maybe track the drums and then have your files bounced to tape to get a little bit of that sound.
