The reason for the old wives tale is that, under the torque of acceleration, a rear wheel drive car will twist it's axle housing, taking some weight off the one side. That side slips on the ground first, but the other side has as much torque applied.

But another choice re: the Tucker- swap drive flanges? One buggered axle in a good flange, one bugger flange on a good axle?

The SOP for axles is that they are held in by the brake backing plate bolts. Look for a separate small plate around those bolts. If you can remove the axle, take it to a machines and have it trued up. Maybe he could do the hub too?
