After looking under the truck for loose or broken things all I could figure was to tighten the body mount bushing bolt below the drivers side feet. I turned the 18mm bolt about 1 turn and so far no more creaking noises?

Good call. About month after I got my 07, I started hearing (and feeling) a clunk under my feet on sharp turns with a bump or dip in the road. Turns out the e-brake cable was caught between the body and frame from the factory, and it was getting looser every time I wheeled. Took it in and tech relocated the cable and tightened everything back up. No more clunk but now the e-brake cable squeaks under the driver door.
