I went to start my truck the other day and it cranked for a second, went clunk, and stopped. I tried again, and the same thing happened. Tried a third time, crank and clunk and stop. Fourth time it started, but sounded really bad while it was cranking. Ever since then, it hasn't clunked anymore, but it sounds really bad. What happened? Is it a bad starter, solenoid, loose starter. . . ?

It's a 1972 C-10 with a 350.
