Rock inside the hubcover? possibly ball joints, or swaybar endlinks

sounds like loose pads to me too. These trucks have their share of brake issues. I would pull the pads and inspect them for fractures or distortion. If all looks good , I would use the brake pad backing adhesive that comes in a spray can and install new clips and v-springs and see if that helps.
