If the cap was knocked off by the wheel it may have stripped out the screws that hold the cap on or broken them off. You may need a whole new hub but only you can check that.
You need to decide if you want manual hubs or automatic hubs. If it is auto a junk yard is probably your best bet.

IMO, manual hubs are almost always better. It reduces drag on the front wheels, which allows for better milage and less wear. Also, if your truck sees any trail time, manual hubs are generally stronger and have a more positive engagment. Once you turn the selector, there is no guessing if it worked or not, you just know.
