Light clank when put into drive
Recently purchased a 1996 Ranger XLT 4.0L V6 and on occasion when putting the truck in Drive there is a metallic clank that can be heard.
Even rarer is that I will hear it as I pull away from a stop sign or light. Is this the drive line failing, ujoints, or something else all together?
There are 118,000 miles on the rig. Any suggestions shy of hitting a dealership would be great. Thanks!

That's not normal though right? I'd say whatever I've got going on needs attention as it has increased in frequency over the month I've owned it so I'm going to dig to try and figure it out. The other oddity is the trucks desire to move once in gear without pressing the accelerator. Now my BMW does this a bit but just a bit where in the truck I can get to 15 mph without ever touching the pedal.
