I found a short piece of 4X4 wood under the jack stands (between jack onto frame)worked best for me to keep it high enough. I put a tie-down wrapped on torque tube using the frame as connecting points. Once you know it is secure unbolt the torque tube. Make sure to scrub and sand if needed so you can slide the torque tube ball piece all the way rear-wards...if you have a crossmember you can leave it for now while you inspect the U-Joint and yoke. I just did all of this Friday on my 1950 3100 3 speed.
Since your Speedometer is moving and rear is not it's somewhere in between.
Which transmission do you have ? I didn't see that in the post?
