Once the wheel bearings begin to gall due to lack of lubrication to the point you notice it, it's way too late to do anything but replace the hub assembly.

Your hub locks are likely still OK.

Yard ornament. Sounds like mine. I have been doing so many mods to my truck in the last 7 weeks I think my tires have grown roots. Does that make our truck good candidates for christmas trees?? I hope you get er back on the road soon.
