missing rear lug nut, Ok to drive ?

Reference last post, I went to replace the rear brake drums
on my 96 F-150 (which just got a brand new Eaton posi,
and axle shafts), and a lug bolt was cross-threaded, and
of course it snaped off when trying to get it off. Got the
new drums on, but its too late to hit the parts store for a
new lug nut, and stud. Question: is is safe/advisable to use
the truck for one day with one missing lug nut/stud? (its' a
regular 5-bolt pattern). I really need to truck, and commute
is 30+ miles mostly high-speed highway.

Thanks!

As long as the other lug nuts are torqued properly, you should have no
problems. But I would not recommend driving more than the one day
