Non-abs trucks do not have ABS hubs. My truck doesn't haave front wheel ABS
and the hubs do not have the ABS ring on them. Pluss the ABS version of the
hub is more expensive.

   I'm trying to remember from when I helped Jason replace his hubs...
This might be wrong, but I *think* the way it was is all of the hubs
had the ABS ring, but its not used in the trucks without ABS in the
front - its just kinda "there"?

   Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that was my
recollection - that the hubs had the ABS ring cast or machined right
into the hub itself.
