easy check, put the rear on jack stands, put the tranny in neutral, crawl under it, grab the driveshaft and turn it each direction, if it is what i think it is, you have excessive backlash in your ring and pinion caused from age and wear in the pinion bearing and the gear surfaces themselves....if it is a U-joint or slip yoke, you will be able to see them move.......possibly it could be the carrier bearing rubber worn out and flexing up and down when under a load too........but most likely it's backlash.
