Exclamation truck makes clunking noises

my truck has been sittin foe a while, the guy i bought it from used it to haul stuff, well he just used it as a work truck. its been sittin in his driveway for a while. i bought it and done a little bit of work to it and here recently it starting making noises. i was travelin down to the end of moon road (an ol gravel road)with some rough sections in it. when i hit a bump my truck makes a clunking noise and rides really rough. is is just bad shocks. what is an affordable brand of shocks and are still a good ride. its for a 69 f100 2wd long bed.

Are there any swaybars on the truck? Have you got under there and seen if anything is broken or hanging?

it has sway bars, me and dad looked everything over and i got new front shocks and ordered a set of kingpins while i was at it. the noise was coming from the front bumper. the top bolts were really loose and the bottom arent very tight either when i tried to tighten them they wouldnt budge because they were so rusted so i sprayed some zep on them like wd40 and then when i tried to tighten them i twisted the bolts in half
