That sounds easy enough. I just replaced a sensor on my Dodge truck. They wanted $60 for it so I decided I'd wind my own (nothing more than a guitar pickup - cylindrical magnet with a lot of very fine wire around it). Eventually found it for $7 and went with that.
But I did play with the ABS sensor and found it has only a 3 millivolt signal when it "sees" a chunk of plain iron move by it. Faster movement = higher output voltage, but nothing over 50 mv. (that was the "new" sensor - the bad one was even lower)
You just need the frequency and don't care about voltage and that makes the signal massage very easy. A standard op amp will have a gain of ~200,000(!) (open loop - without gain limiting resistors). Input 3 millivolts and get out a rail to rail square wave.
The opamp you use isn't critical - you'll most likely want it work from a single supply. Most do this by just returning the minus power supply connection to ground and biasing the reference input to 1/2 Vcc via a couple of ~10 K resistors to make a voltage divider. Run that voltage to one of the opamps inputs, and your sensor to the other (one end of the sensor will go to ground).
That's pretty much the basics. You would still want to use a couple of clamping diodes so that the input to the amp can never exceed the supply voltage or ground (AC signal out of the sensor). The sensor I had was around 5,000 ohms - so a resistor protecting the input isn't necessary, the internal resistance of 5K is plenty.
It would probably never exceed the supply voltage because the sensor output is so low - but you never know, and if the opamp lost its power supply connection it might just be enough to fry it.
The sensors are going to pick up stray magnetic fields indoors, so expect some power line frequency noise on it if you use a scope.
