I'm a firm believer in replacing any TTY bolt especially a pinch bolt, 2 for under $10 you can't go wrong, I have a few old sets they are all yours if you want them

It might be the wheel bearing, or it might not.
The wheel bearings are not expensive, but changing them out is a fair amount of work, so you should be sure that's the problem, not a brake issue or something else.
I would live with it for awhile. A lot of FBs, especially the 84/85 models, came with the automatic fix it option. Chances are good the noise will just go away after awhile.
And if it really is a wheel bearing, the only damage being done is to your ear drums, so if your hearing is still good you could just ignore it.
On the other hand, if it's the brakes, you really need to diagnose and fix it.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Ray

I reused them and had no ill effects for 20K+ miles. But if they're as cheap as Bad SVT says, I'd replace for peace of mind.

Thanks you two for the info! Ill probably just go thru it and do it the right way, the first time. That's how I like it. DTSS, bearings, seals, nuts, all of it.
