Jeffrey,

I would try using some new axle shaft bolts. It should be a relatively inexpensive experiment anyway. Make sure the bolts have the correct shank height where they contact the axle shaft flange. Originally there was a axle flange bolt lock plate used on these trucks. Lock plates show up on ebay occasionally.
