Wheel hubs
You can't. I assume you are talking about drum brake hubs, as disk brake rotors have integral hubs. The hubs are not normal wear items, so there isn't much call for new ones. The wheel studs can be replaced, as can the wheel bearings and races, so there typically isn't a need to replace the whole hub unless there was a catastrophic failure (or the wheel bearing seized and spun the race in the hub). In any case, you'll be looking for good used. Most people who convert to disks throw the drum hubs away.

Yes I am talking about front drums, the passenger side is pretty beat up. Plus three of the studs are incorrect. I'm new at this as you can tell, I bought the car a few years ago and have been slowly restoring it. I went to do a complete brake job, brakes, drums, springs, wheel cylinders, everything and when I took the passenger side tire off I noticed that three of the studs didn't match up and they basically just fell right out of the hub. I figured I could just find new ones and be done with it!
