I have a '78 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 pickup which usually makes a very noticable clank when starting from a stand still. It feels like an engine or transmission mount shift. The trans. and transfer case appear tight when pushing it, but have not done any extensive diagnostics. It does not do it all the time, but most of the time. Everything else appears OK.
Can anyone suggest a possible cause.
Thanks, Larry

I had a socket extension rolling back and forth in the channel under my radiator once. Drove me crazy for a long damn time!
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll start checking all the things mentioned.
Thanks a lot.
