F250SD D50 question

Hey guys, I hang out over in the Older truck section so not in here very often.
Anyway, I have a question that I'm sure someone here can answer.
The D50/60 with the unit hub bearing assembly, do they still have the stub shaft support needle bearing in the back of the spindle like the old serviceable bearings?
Guy at work is trying to convert TO the unit hub assembly and claims he doesn't need the stub bearing to support the axle. I disagree, but like I said I'm used to the older trucks that use them.

Yep, just call up photos on RA for the model year bearing you think you'll be using (maybe say 2001?)

Some of the offerings will have multiple views you can flip through, ie front, side, rear etc. I think you'll find a needle bearing there.

I see that they seem to come with the equivalent installed in the back of the housing.

BUT.. he ordered a "bare" one from ebay because it was cheaper. No studs etc.. so he is in for a rude awakening I believe.
