Question about front ABS hubs

[Breeder18]

I believe I have 4 wheel ABS and have included a picture which I believe is the wire going to the hub. Is it possible to purchase a replacement wheel hub assembly that is not the 4wheel ABS? I haven't had my ABS working for 4 years, I don't care about it.

Also if you can be so kind as to suggest what I might also replace based on the images?

I have had some noise for a little bit that sounded like the wheel bearings were going. When I went to start it after it sat for a week, the brake peddle went to the floor; it pumped back up however. After driving about a mile I went to brake and heard some clunking and it felt like the peddle was on a grind stone. I am assuming the brake pads disintegrated.

I have uploaded all my images to Flickr for ease of viewing.

you're kidding, right?

Kidding about what?

from the looks of those rotors, I'd just throw pads and rotors on it, and try driving it again. I doubt there is anything wrong with the hubs at all. All that rust is causing your problem.

I hate to come on here and look like an idiot, I haven't done much work on the front brakes, that's why I ask. So would you suggest I get the rotors that don't have the ABS part, since I don't use it anyway?

The rust is horrible on this truck, it's seirously one of the worst cases of undercarriage rust I have ever seen. I had to reinforce the frame after one of the shackles collapsed last year. The brake line worries me, it is flaking pretty badly. Wasn't sure if the calipers should be looked at too, due to all the rust.

So rotors and new pads, and give it a go?

the rotors don't matter about ABS, they are the same,

You sir, are correct! I had been comparing hubs so much that I somehow had it all mixed up. Thanks

Doesn't look like those have ever been apart and serviced. Probably going to need slide pins as well, the calipers don't look too promising. They might start to leak when you press the pistons back....if they go back at all.

You're looking at a complete brake job there.

Should I just buy all new hardware and do it myself to lower the cost?

New Rotors
Pads
Calipers
Brake line?

Anything else? Like I said earlier, haven't done much with brakes; are special tools required?

If you do decide to replace the calipers, too, go to NAPA, or AutoZone, and get complete loaded calipers, they come with new pads, brackets, slides, the whole nine yards. then you have it all new, just add rotors, and hoses/lines.
