If it just started, could be several things, I'd check the rubber bushings in the A-arms first or a loose shock. It could even be a broken motor mount. Good luck with it, atleast on these old trucks it's fairly simple to diagnose and fix!

With the ifo given, I would lean on a broken shock. Find a speed bump in a local parking lot and see if you get multiple clunks....

Reminds me of my high school years when a friend of mine had some problem under the hood that you could not see or hear without the truck - an old Dodge- in motion. We got a Jr. high kid who was walking past the parking lot and convinced him to crawl under the hood and ride there while we "got her up to 40+ mph". He didn't see or hear the problem, he was too busy screaming after he burnt himself on the exhaust. Kids are crazy... grin

My guess would be a worn rubber shock mount.
