Loren,
First off, Welcome to Stovebolt! Glad you joined us and look forward to hear more about your truck, not to mention seeing some pictures when you can.
A little research provides the following pertaining to your VK (4400) model 1-1/2 Ton front wheel bearings/seals:
Inner: Original GM# 7450131 (aka Hyatt A11424Z for the complete bearing and cup set)
Outer: Original GM# 7450034 (aka Hyatt KA-11035Z for complete bearing and cup set - Bearing = Hyatt A-11035 + Cup = Hyatt 11035Z)
Seal: Original GM# 3691478 (aka National 6511 or Trostel Seals XT6511)
If you do a web search, you will find a number of these bearing sets and seals available from a few sellers. I usually start by searching the GM#, then also search using the alternate manufacturers numbers to find the ads. There were some of each of these for sale in various ads this morning. Good luck in your hunt!!!
BTW - The "extra piece" you mentioned is called an oil deflector for the front hub/brake drum. Keeps the brake shoes from getting contaminated by wheel bearing grease/oil.

PS - I have moved your post to the
Big Bolts forum as it is the best place to discuss all things related to your specific truck.
