I guess the first thing I would do is to check the transmission fluid. I'm not familiar with the truck 4 speeds but there should be a plug about halfway up on the side of the trans case. The gear lube should be up even with the bottom of the hole. Hopefully someone with a little 4 speed experience will chime in here....

Just happened to think that it might be a universal joint on the drive shaft too. They make a clicking noise when they are loose.
