Yes, he’ll ship the OE style tapered bearings if you want them and send the axles bare. That’s how I got my axles when I bought them from DoctorDiff. The tapered bearings are usually more expensive because you get Timkens, so it adds a little to the price.
The only thing that’s different is the green bearings come installed with the retaining plates, whereas with the tapered bearings you’ll need to use your own adjuster and retainer plates (because the tapered bearings don’t come with them), so the axles come bare and you have to install the bearings. But Cass deducts the cost of the green bearings, you don’t have to pay for stuff you don’t want.
He used to sell HD retainer and adjuster sets, so if you bought those with the tapered bearing you could get everything installed. Don’t see those on his site anymore though, and those were kinda pricey. Although they looked bombproof compared to the stock stuff.
