I Have a 1981 f150 4x4 with a 302, yesterday as I was driving down the road my truck pulled hard to the right. I pulled over to check it and the tire was at a weird angle so I lifted it up and my whole wheel/hub assembly came off. Im thinking the manule lock out blew apart along with the outer bearing. Would that allow the hub assembly to just fall off the truck, if not what should I look for.

It does have the complete hub assembly's on it, but they are not that difficult to change. And that does sound like the problem you are having.

First check if there is a screw in the outer side of the axle on trucks there is usually an adjusting screw to tighten the bearing. be carefull not to over tighten

you have a worn out or loose steering component. easiest way to find it is to jack up the front of the truck so both tires are off the ground. grab the tire and "turn" it left to right, to simulate the actual steering. you will probably feel some kind of movement. like a loose feeling...its difficult to put into writing. but if you watch the steering parts while a buddy trys to shake the tire around a bit, then you should be able to spot what is loose or worn. keep an eye on the tierod ends, and the ball joints especially. but it could even be a bushing on the control arm. once you find whats loose, you either tighten it up, or replace the parts as needed. you may have to try shaking both tires (not at the same time), depending on what side of your truck the bad part is on. also check to see if the tire moves when you try to move it front to back. that would indicate bad wheel bearings.
