Well, I removed my bearings etc off the original axles from my "741" 8.75 diff and am thinking I will replace them with new ones as they are quite pitted etc. Any recommendations on new rear axle shafts that others have used?
 
The shafts are pitted or the bearings?
Shafts are seldom if ever need replacing, bearings are a replaceable item.
 
There are a lot of great places to get a wide range of axles for 8 3/4... if you're not looking for something specific, I always recommend to start with Dr. Diff. Frankly, they've been great to me as a customer, and I can't recommend them more.

Here is an axle that may work... as an example.
Mopar Axle Package 5 X 4 1/2" (5 X 4.5) Bolt Pattern 30/35 Spline
 
Shafts are pitted quite bad, and one is nicked from what looks like a bad bearing removal at one time. I would rather just put on new ones.
