Check your transmission... Haha.. Mine did that too. Found out I had a broken bell housing. Doubtful thats your problem though..

Youre sure its hitting the bottom of the cab? Any particular spot? Driver side or passenger side?

a quick thought....from experience...check the bolts on your drive shaft...front ones to the transmission and the 4 bolts to the rear end. I pulled my transmission a few months ago and lo and behold, the 4 bolts to the rear end were only hand tight. Lucky I decided to do the work before the drive shaft dropped. Also, sounded just like the clunks you described.
