Default Original factory U-joints, can you re-use?

So I have a fellow member looking for 69 Camaro Factory U-joints, of which I think I have 5 or 6.

The question is: What does it take to refurbish these and use these?

Is it just clean, inspect roller bearings and surfaces for wear, then grease?

I have re-used Clean, unworn, complete u-joints many times by keeping the caps all on their original shafts. The bare cross shafts with rust are not a candidate in my book. ANY hint of brinelling by the needles is a no go as well. They need to look and feel like new.
