Eh, you could if you HAD to.
The wheel isn't going to fall off or anything. The concern would be wheel bearing grease loss &/or contamination, and further damage due to foreign objects getting in.
I wouldn't drive it in snow or otherwise wet weather. You could probably duct tape a zip lock bag over it though, lol.

Some 'friend' if he didn't offer to pay for new parts.
Yes you can drive on that. Take the broken hub lockout off, clean all the bits and pieces out if there are any in there, and duct tape the open end of the hub to keep dirt out til you can get it fixed.

Thanks
Sorry for novice questions haven't had a Ford before. Am I thinking correctly get a new lockout hub and replace and I'm good to go? Is it a part readily available? Google ain't helping me at all

That wheel wont work, so it may be hard to handle if it snows as you say. May have to keep it in 2wd. So bring your chains. Your friend paying for the parts is admirable. But did he mention he must have rat bagged on your truck in order to accomplish that. He beat on that thing serious. That's not just play in the snow damage. That's locked up wheels deep, and hammering on it trying to get out. Not much of a friend.

Dana 50 axle, right? If so here's some manual lockouts over at Bronco Graveyard: Dana 50 Lockouts Hubs-Broncograveyard.com
Or you can get them from just about anywhere else that sells axle parts. If you instead have a D60 axle just search for lockouts for that instead.
Yes if everything else is intact in there then you just need to replace the lockouts and you're good to go. I would service the bearings while you're in there or at least check for play.

Also with one hub non-functional it won't be hard to handle. It'll just be in 2WD no matter what the transfer case or the other hub thinks.

And keep in mind that if you're putting manual hubs on you'll need to get different spindle nuts too. It's often listed as a manual hub conversion kit, or something like that.
