Rubber or poly bushings? I'll bet on poly.
Actually it was a stock rebuild so I went with rubber. Thanks I will check the UCA bushings and also the other bolted connections.

Check your A-Arm Bolts. I left one loose after my build and it was doing the same thing.

Well most of the noise disappeared when I tightened the UCA bolts btw what is the torque spec on the nuts that hold the UCA on the piviot bar? I have never replaced the bushings between the K frame and the front subframe as far as I know they are not even being reproduced. Mine look fine though and have very few dry cracks in them.
the fact that they have any dry cracks in them means they need to be replaced , you can get a solid spacer to replace the bushing . have you actually gone to the auto parts store and ASKED for them ? i would be surprised if they aren't still available .
oh and get a factory service manual while you are at it , they are invaluable

Burred-up or dry torsion bar ends can cause that also, though it's usually more of a 'pop' and a 'ping' sound at the same time.

Have you noticed if it happens most of the time when you are applying the brakes? Or just regular driving that involves suspension travel?

try lubricating the pivot point of the strut rod at the lower control arm.
That's a definite possibility. My blue car started doing that in the mid-70's, especially when driving over a rise & then coming back down. The service manager @ the C-P dealer told me to blow some graphite into that point & that took care of it.
