HELP!!! dana 60 wheel bolt question!

97 f350 dana 60 8 lug up front.

i have to take my truck on a 2 hour trip tomorrow morning from my house near philly, to reading, pa. i was planning on swapping my 38" swampers back to my stoock size tires for the drive to preserve my tires, and help on mileage.

i started with the driver side front and my 3rd lug in, i broke the stud off. every other one on the wheel (and the others). am i safe driving for like 2 hours on interstates on 7 lugs on that wheel? some already told me it was ok. what risks am i running here. i plan on getting it fixed ASAP when i get back. but i really need the truck for this trip.

my band is playing a big show out there tomorrow night and i have to take all of our equipment in case youre wondering why i still need to go.

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!!!!!!!!

Yeah youre fine. Its a PITA to put a new stud in a D60 anyway. You have to take everything but the fenders off the truck to get the hub/rotor off.

Run it. You've still got 7 BIG lugs. I see lil cars and trucks running around with 3-4 all the time.
