Bueno or no bueno?

I'm rebuilding my front suspension and swapping to disc brakes and when I cleaned up the spindles I found some scoring/galling.  The inner bearing lands look great, it's the outer bearing areas that are chewed up.  Are these serviceable or should I be looking for replacements?

Personally, I'd look for a replacement.  There's a possibility that it could stress crack and fail in a hard cornering situation.

Agree. This does not look like wear. It looks like a bearing seized then span the inner race on the spindle until it then got too hot and seized. It would have generated a lot of heat which would likely make your spindle much more brittle than it original was.
