Front Diff/Hub Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yesterday as I was wheeling in 4 high through snow coming down from the ski hill, my left hub bound up, caused the left axle to stop and sheared off all the studs.......as I watched my tire pass me. Good thing I was going slow, and the snow helped reduce the impact so not too much damage.

Any suggestions on why my left hub would bind and not allow me to turn it from lock to free, and what would cause the front diff to bind enough to shear the studs on one side?
I'm new to the world of ancient 4x4's. Thanks in advance.
