Default Rattle in front end

I have a 96 xl 300 5 spd. Problem is at low speeds(less than 20mph) there is a rattle that sounds like it is in the front drivers side. I think it is in the suspension, but not sure. Can't find anything loose. Rattle stops when getting up to speed. Any ideas?

Lift the door while it is open and see if moves. Does it rattle at start up and idle?

I know what your getting at with the door, but its not that. Already fixed that problem. No, it only starts rattling when I start moving.

Try rocking it up and down when stationary. You may reproduce the rattle and can crawl underneath to see what's going on while someone bounces the truck.

I had a rattle front and rear on mine. Turned out the bottom bushing on two of the shocks was bad. Replaced the shocks and no more rattle. Figured it out using the bounce and look method.
