Finally got around to doing a little more work. The u-joint looks fine. With the transmission in neutral and wheels on the ground I can spin it by hand. So I guess that narrows it down to the propeller shaft or pinion gear shaft.

Any recommendations on what the next best thing to do is? I guess I'm heading toward pulling off the rear end, but am hoping I can avoid that if possible.

She looks good at 50 yards, and 35 miles per hour, on a dark night.
