Default ABS Speed Sensors

Hey Guys - new to the forum but I have a question for you: Is it possible to have front ABS speed sensors without having ABS in the front?

I recently bought my truck (98 sport 5.2) and both the ABS and brake light are on constantly, and the speedo doesn't kick on until 20mph or slightly after. I did some reading on here and everything was pointing me to replacing the rear sensor...I had a mechanic checking out the truck though for another issue (EVAP) and he told me his reader was saying it was the front left ABS speed sensor. Fast-forward a few weeks and I have purchased a front ABS speed sensor but when I jacked up the truck took off the wheel and took off the brake caliper I couldn't find it anywhere. Anyways so that's the back story, I also have my build sheet courtesy of FCA, but from everything I see on there I only have ABS in the rear (please correct me if I'm wrong). If it's not possible, did the mechanic just read the code wrong?

Any help would be appreciated!

BGJS Pwr Disc/Drum Rr Anti-Lock Brakes (This tels you)

I would think based on your build sheet you only have a rear wheel sensor. I have a 98 3.9L and one sensor in the back for rear anti lock brakes only.

I agree. You don't have 4 wheel anti-lock brakes. You have Rear Wheel Anti-Lock brakes.
