    Have you checked to see if your heat shield is scraping on your drive shaft? Have you checked the bolts for the carrier bracket (correct me on terminology if I'm wrong) that hold the driveshaft?

    Love that movie. I had a birds nest on my radiator once. They kinda squeaked when I started my truck.

    Have you checked U joints?

    ^ That is common on the 2nd gens, not sure about the 1st. But it would make sense that you hear it when accelerating.

    If it sounds like it's comming from the rear yes it could be the leafs.
    There is a thread around here somewhere on how to fix it. I beleave it involves cleaning & greasing between leafs
