I have a 1991 1/2 ton sport pick-up 2 wheel drive that i have completely gone over and replaced every part to make it a safe truck to drive, always go with the saying of preventive maintenance is the way to go. Now after driving it for a few months now i am hearing clunk or clink sound when taking off in first gear in the rear. I have replaced the motor mounts and trans mount, u- joints have been checked and are tight, I jacked the truck up today to check anything that might be causing the noise like something hitting etc. What i did notice is the passenger rear wheel had play in it by grabbing it, Not in or out,,, but side to side and up and down and i do hear a metal knocking sound not real loud but i also am not putting real pressure on it like letting the clutch out. So just wondering if this could be the problem? if anybody could give me a idea of what this is and is it safe to drive? I did see on here, that some play is normal, don't know if they where talking about in and out. I have no rubbing squealing of any kind when driving.
 
my buddies ford sport track does this. The tail pipe is so close to the frame and when he takes off in first gear it clings against the frame once. something to think about.

My first thought would have been the u joint though.-but you checked that.
