Default Rear end experts, I need your advise! Are these axles junk?

Hey guys, I am tearing into my 1934 rear end to install a set of 35-36 Ford 3.54 ring and pinion. I know the procedure there, here is my question: I tore the 34 rear end down yesterday and it is in a lot worse shape then I was hoping. All the gears inside are pitted pretty good. Luckily the ring, pinion, diff bearings and spider gears in the 36 rear end are all in excellent shape. I will need to get some 32-34 pinion bearings and race.

On my axles, the gears on the end are pretty pitted and have some nasty wear. I am assuming they are junk...but could a guy file on them a little and clean them up? The rest of the shafts are in great shape, just the gears are the trouble areas.Trust me if I had a better set of axles I would use em, but I do not. I do not want to run them if they are useless...just trying to weigh my options. This is the first rear end I have ever tore into...and I am learning fast!

Also, if anyone has a set of axles or a good used or NOS 32-34 pinion race I would REALLY appreciate it! I do not want to put Chinese bearings/races in this thing. Trying to get this thing back together and it is fighting me!!
