Sure its not exhaust or a heat shield? Ive got a similar rattle/clang from my passenger side. Shaking my exhaust i can see that its the problem. Start moving stuff around and see whats loose.

i would go underneath and beat on your cat with your hand see if thats the noise. Same thing happened to me ended up being the heat sheild on the cat.

bottom right corner of the dash. to the right of the glove box, you can see it bolt to the cab. Bronco graveyard makes a metal replacement that i just bought. I'll post pictures of the install process.
