Had the same spot weld break on my 98 DX, drilled and screwed through it and so far the noise has gone. But that noise was only an issue when opening or closing the rear doors.
The other source of noise i had when i first got the truck came from the plastic inner guard beneath the fuel filler pipes, which sounds to me like what your talking about. It was a knocking sound that happened as I drove along on rough roads, smooth roads it didn't matter.
It depended a bit on the speed i was travelling because the wind would be what was moving it around. It drove me nuts for awhile, I even had a mate sit in the cargo area listening as I drove.
One day I was laying under there having a look around (as you do) and bumped it with my hand and it was the "noise". One self tapper later and I was in driver's heaven......It's a protective cover for the filler pipes i assume and it is fixed to the body with plastic thingys, 2 of which had broken off.
good luck with it
