Is it constant, or only when you go over a bump?  Does it change with
engine speed or road speed?  

My first guess would be to crawl into the footwell and shine a light up in
behind the dashboard; then wiggle everything you can reach.  A loose
metal-to-metal piece will squeak.

'62 TR4 no squeaks, great mileage, not moving!
'81 Chevette- what doesn't squeak or rattle is stuck or broken
