Have someone stand next to the car when you move it (rear area) to listen - it may be clicking but you cannot hear it. I had a similar problem with my '72. One of the rear axle joints (u-joint) was bad. I couldn't hear it in the car, but someone heard it when I began to move the car. Just a suggestion.
