Default ABS question

Alrighty folks, this might be a dumb question, but I've got to ask. I don't think I have ABS on my 01 Sport 2wd. However, when I replaced the calipers and rotors, the truck acts like it has ABS. I get going down the road at about 40mph and slam on the brakes, they lock up momentarily and release. I don't feel any pulse in the pedal and I can't tell if the wheels are pusling either. When I had to replace the rotors and calipers, I also had to replace the front left hub. Behind the hub, there is no ABS sensor anywhere. I've checked both sides. I don't get it. Is there possibly another braking issue that I need to look into? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you bleed the system good after installing the new calipers?

How did the caliper pins/slides look? Sounds like they may be sticking.

Bled all the brakes 3 times just to be sure. The slide pins were a little pitted, so I used some 1000 grit sandpaper and a little polishing compund to clean them up real nice. Greased the heck out of them things. I've checked the pads and it doesn't look like one side is wearing faster than the other.
