I was going by the info in your original post, so I'm just trying to help with the information that you give us.
The reason I said to check the exhaust is that there was a problem with some of these 4.3's exhaust flange gaskets that would be loose and cause a rattle.
Was this rattle there before you replaced the ball joints and torsion bar bushings?
Did you replace upper and lower ball joints?
Are the brake calipers tight?
Shock mounts tight?
just writing down what I think could cause a rattle.
Link pin bushings on the front sway bar?

Check your hood hinges. This is a common noise and does sound exactly like a loose shock or bad ball joint, only higher up. It's very difficult to tell the difference.
Toss a rag under the corners of the hood near the hinges. Careful not to wad it up too much and bend the hinge, just enough to put some tension on the hinge bolt. If this stops it, then you'll need to go to the dealership and get two (2) of PN 12383460. Remove the hinge bolts, put the washer onto the bolt and reassemble.
I just had the torsion bar mounts replaced 3 days ago. and ball joints done in july....
I'll try putting a rage under the hinge to see if thats the problem.
thanks for you help.
