Some of those old axles just get a bit of fretting in the bore. If they would hone out to just a .010" oversize then I can see the possibility of using an oversized pin as a fix since it would only require a bit more reaming of the bushings to get all the stuff to fit right. If the axle is worn more than that then the sleeving of the bore would be the next fix.
