Rattle sound in cooler temps

Looking for ideas to cure my mystery rattle. My truck has what I can best describe as a rattling noise, or a very light clunking, that comes about when outside temps get down to about 40 degrees. Any little bump in the road will cause it. All summer long in warmer temps I never hear it.

Its location is hard to pinpoint from inside the cab, but seems like it's nearly right underneath me most of the time

A dealer said the culprit was a Plastic wheel well liner so they replaced it. Didn't help. Any other ideas that I can look at?

My truck does the same thing. I have had it to the dealer several times and eventually gave up. I think its in the steering wheel, air bag module or clock spring. Let me know if you figure it out.

I should add, the dealer repaced my steering wheel, BUT canabalized all the parts, so buttons, air bag module etc was transplanted into the new wheel. Did not fix the issue.
