On the subject of worn axles in 64-87 Chevy truck rearends (as used in
oletrucks), Woody mentioned that you can use an "axle saver" bearing if
the axle is worn out...you can, but beware that if the axle is worn more
than just a little bit, you will run the danger of the axle breaking if
you continue to use it.  The instructions in the bearing kit are quite
strict about this.

So...be careful.
