The rattle from hell.. And a 'buckling sound'...

I've got a very annoying rattle in the bed of my '98 extended cab.

The rattle sounds as if I have a shock loose but I have all the bolts tight
when I replaced the shocks recently but the rattle is still there.

All looks like it is tight but it's starting to push me over the edge..

Anybody else had a 'rattle' develop lately and can offer any suggestions??

The truck also makes a 'buckling sound' when I turn into parallel side
streets and gas stations. Its as if the truck frame is 'twisting' and the
bed is touching the cab. I know this couldn't be, but it sure sounds like
it.

Anybody know what this sound could be as well?? Its only a '98 with 62,000
miles on it.. I would have expected to have the 'uncontrollable rattles'
start after say.. 6 years and 100,000 miles.
