Default Strange chirping

I have a chirping noise on my 99 5.4 extended cab. It sounds like its coming from the front of the bed close to the cab on the drivers side. Anybody else have this?

With truck running down road? or just sitting still? Try lifting the bed on front drivers side, don't throw yer back out, just grab it and jiggle it. Might be a loose bed bolt allowing some metal chaffing, thus the squeaking.
