Knocking when cold!!!

Knocking when cold!!!
I'm having problems with my 97 f150 4.6 knocking after being started up. If it's cold it will start knocking immediately when cranked and will do so while idling or under acceleration for a few minutes until it warms up. The knocking sounds as if the engine is low on oil but it's not. Any ideas of what this could be??? Thanks

It doesn't sound like it's too deep in the engine, just below the valve cover maybe??? If it's the pistons slappin is this something that I should be worried about and is it a pretty big fix?? Thanks for the feedback, anything helps. I'm a Jeep guy and just got this truck from my dad so I'm not too familiar with it yet. I like to work on it myself if I can. He bought it brand new in 97 and has never had any magor problems with it. It's still a great runnin truck, it's just that knockin that bothers me.
