Short answer... Following instuctions to set up wheel bearings on a typical older truck, you will end up with a TINY amount of "play", but NEVER pre-load. Generally, wheel bearings do NOT get "pre-loaded" like pinion or differential bearings.
A shop manual will usually give a certain torque and then what fraction of a turn to "back them off". When you are done, you will have the tiniest perceptible amount of "play" in the bearings, NOT pre-load The play may be so slight you don't even feel it, but you can hear it as the grease in the bearings makes little noises as you wiggle the wheel from side to side and the grease "shears" between the bearing surfaces.
