Default '34 Pickup Front Wheel Bearings- Technical

I am beginning to suspect that the front wheel bearings on my '34 pickup are going bad. I can hear a pulsing noise coming from the front, and sometimes feel the same in the brake pedal. The truck has 5,000 miles on it since coming to me- the bearings have never been touched as far as I know.

What are the symptoms of a bearing going bad? What are some ways to diagnose a bearing going bad?

Should I pull the bearings, repack, and see if the noise changes?

Go ahead and replace the bearings?

The brakes were upgraded to the modern Lincoln Bendix style when I acquired the truck.

Thanks for your guidance here.
