Bent Dana 60 axle shafts

I have an old Canadian rusty 1986 Dana 60 front axle. I had to press the u joints out of axles. They were probebly the origanals. It took alot to press them out. After I was done I inspected axle shafts and I think I bent the axle area where the joints are supposed to be ( the knuckle) I measured the inside dimension where th u-joint C clips are supposed to be. I think they are supposed to measure 3.000". My 2 stub shaft inner dimension measure 3.004" and 2.997" those seam to be okay. |But my short shaft is measuring 2.840" and long shaft is 2.775" they are obviously bent you can see it with the naked eye. My question is can they be straightened at a drivetrain shop or are they scrap garbage. I will be upgrading my stub shafts to 35 spline shafts so I am not worried about them is is my longer shafts I am worried about.
