Most trucks with locking hubs have little switches on the front tires, int he center. Depending on how far they are turned, the wheels will be locked or unlocked. If the 350 is less than twenty years old, you probably don't need to lock the hubs yourself, it will be automatic when you shift into four-wheel drive.

Can you drive with hubs locked?
Yes, you can drive with hubs locked, but it typically depends on whether your vehicle is in four-wheel drive (4WD) mode. When the hubs are locked, power is distributed to the front wheels, which can improve traction on slippery or off-road surfaces. However, driving on paved roads with locked hubs in 4WD can cause handling issues and increased tire wear. It's advisable to unlock the hubs when driving on dry, solid surfaces.
Can you drive in 2 wheel drive with your hubs locked?
Yes, you can drive in 2-wheel drive with your hubs locked, especially in vehicles with manual locking hubs. When the hubs are locked, the front wheels can receive power, but they will not engage unless the vehicle is in 4-wheel drive. However, driving with locked hubs in 2-wheel drive can lead to increased tire wear and potential handling issues on dry pavement. Therefore, it is generally advisable to unlock the hubs when not using 4-wheel drive.
