Dana 44 Front axle no oil?

Hey all, sorry if this is a stupid question but...

My truck is a 68 K20 with a Dana 44 front axle (Closed Knuckle). I pulled the front diff cover off to find a crack in the base of the diff and no gear oil at all. My question is this: Is it ok to still run the truck in this condition, using 2 wheel drive ONLY, until I can get it fixed? Or am I going to damage other parts of the axle like the front hubs, steering knuckle etc.? It has manual locking hubs... so as long as I only use 2 wheel drive with the hubs unlocked none of the 4x4 components are moving... therefore I wont do any damage...right?? Thanks
