Auto locking hubs

This is the first time I've torn into auto locking hubs and I have a few questions.

Can I use hubs for an ABS truck even tho I don't have front wheel ABS? I would like to be able to grease them.

My truck is an early 99. Does it use the same hubs as the late 99? All I can find in online parts catalogs is for late 99s.

Judging from the rust inside the hubs (needle bearings are toast) I'm thinking I need to replace the knuckle seals. How do I get to them? Anyone know of an online write up on how to get in there? I tried a search with no luck. I'm gonna get a manual for it but it's gonna be a few days before I have time and I would like to do some reading up on it.

Thanks for any help guys.
