Possibly worn hub splines if you have wire wheels.

Possibly a worn U-joint: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/propshaft/ps102.htm
More likely worn thrust washers in the differnetial. Check for free
play at the differential input flange. 1/4 inch free rotation at the
edge of the flange will make a clunk. Very common with the Salsbury
axle. Easy to fix. See here: http://chicagolandmgclub.com/photos/b_clunk
