front end clunk

Hello, quick question. 1996 f-250 4x4. when I hit the brakes while moving forward, I hear a clunk comming from the front end. It does not clunk if I do this in reverse, or if I hit the brakes while parked. I crawled under and checked the caliper bolts and they were tight.

So, should I take off the wheels and inspect the brakes some more, or does this sound more like a ball joint or something else? Or the TTB pivots?

Thanks,
Will
