Does someone sell new tapered axle shafts for a '63 Sure-grip 8 3/4? Can I use "green bearings" with the original axle shafts?

I think I understand the interest in green bearings, but whats the reason for new tapered axles, which most do not favor? I bet there are many, including myself, that have sets laying around heading for the scrap yard.
And mine are 62's which I'm guessing are too short.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

On some of the aftermarket axles I've seen, the raised hub that registers the brake drum appears to be bolted on (not machined from the flange). If you have access to a lathe it would be fairly easy to machine the the hub from the tapered brake drum flange and bolt it to the new flange axle...I've thought about doing that myself just for looks.
