My '66 BJ8 has developed a "clunk" whenever
I step on the brake. It is barely audible at most
forward speeds but is easily noticeable when
going in reverse. It only occurs once when the
brake is applied and is only at the right front.

I have inspected the hub and spoked wheel
and the splines look good. A mark on the wheel
and knockoff show no additional rotation after
tightening.

Suggestions on where to start looking next?

Disk brakes? Front wheel bearings (though
there is no perceptible play when raised off
the ground)?
