Pretty much any Napa ect. Parts store will have or can order in the full bearing kit for each side, inner & outer seals, bearings, retainer ring, and cover gasket.
This is a simple job for a auto shop with a press.
Many of us do them at home.
Some folks will point you to the ( green bearings ) for replacement , myself I prefer the regular tapered roller bearings oem style.
You or they will need to set the end play on the axle. Factory service manual or older Chilton's will guide you through all of this.

Replace inner seals and repack bearings set end play and good to go

I wouldn't write off the bearings without seeing them. Replace inner seals, re-pack bearings if they still look good and put back together. But the bearing (bearing and race), seals and retainer are listed on Rockauto as PN USA10047 and you'll need 2.

I will never use a green style bearing for anything used on the street. Before I get all the " Ive used them for years" replies, I also used them and was just lucky enough to suffer a catastrophic failure of one. Was able to limp the thing home, cut them off, and replaced with OEM style bearings. No problems since.
