Default frt wheel bearing replacement?

Well I made the dumb move of the day, I didnt put the castle nut on the stub shaft and drove the truck around the block and the wheel bearings are no longer a part of the truck.

Can you rebuild the hub with new bearings or do you have to buy the whole hub?

its a 96 1500 5.9 4x4 with abs its the drivers side frt hub

To my knowledge, there isn't separate bearings available.

Yup replace the whole thing. On a side note, you have a 96 with 4 wheel anti lock brakes?
