79 F150 Dana 44 Axle Question

[2000F150SAS]

We just pulled our 79 Dana 44 apart last night and found a couple of problems. This will be a street, trail, and beach truck, no heavy wheeling.

Driver side outer axle - the splines are a little screwed up from the snap ring out, is this a problem?

Passenger side outer axle - the smooth part of the axle next to the splines has a few grooves. These grooves are about 1/4" in width, smooth, but not that deep, is this a problem?

Thanks

pass side, i'd run it.
driver side, probably be ok no harder then you plan on pushing it.

Broncomania,

Would you or know of anyone in the area which may have a extra outer axle (stock ford)? I don't like the pass. side one and since we are rebuilding the axle from end to end i think i would like to replace it.

Thanks, John
