After changing the front axle, wheel bearings, brakes a calipers, I have no speedometer. I assume it's my wheel speed sensors, but have changed out new and old and still no speed?

You are correct that the issue is with the wheel speed sensors. However, it may not be the sensor. Take a look at this material that explains how it works. Basically the ABS tells the PCM what the speed is and that sends it to the cluster. The ABS gets the speed from the wheel speed sensors.

Then the speed sensors pick up the speed of the wheel bearing due to magnets with alternating poles so the speed sensor can see how fast the bearing is spinning. If you replaced the bearing, what was the part number and who did you get it from? We need to make sure it is the correct part.

Then we need to check the codes.

Take a look at this info and we can go from there.
