'71 K20 Destroyed Bearing

Hello everyone, My bearing on my 1971 K20 front right seized and almost yanked me off the road the other day. The inside of the hub where the bearing chase sits got some gouges, and the locking hub took some damage also. Upon dismantling it I had to cut the locking nuts off because they were warped into ovals. It looks like the spindle threads are still ok though. I haven't done this before, I found the Chiltons and Haynes manuals cheap so I picked them up.Can i find a single locking hub to replace the damaged one or are they hard to find as a single? Do I need to replace the hub since it is gouged (see pic)? What brand bearings are suggested? The last shot is how it sits now. I'm assuming what is still on there is what is left of the old bearing. Thank you any advice/help you can supply!
