Reuse head gasket?

After assembling and torquing down the cylinder heads on my 1974 2.7, I had to disassemble it again. My question is, can I reuse the head gaskets?

I have re-used them in similar situations. Take a look at them in the piston groove. If they still stick up abit so they push on the heads then they should be fine. If they look crushed and don't stick up anymore then replace them. If you have your old ones from before the rebuild you'll see what crushed ones look like. If you are worried about it you should replace them for peace of mind.
