Does this sound like bad u-joints or something more serious like torque converter or rear end???

Most likely it's your u-joints that are bad. You can't check the torque converter that way. Put your truck in neautral and then shift it back to drive several times, if you hear a clang, change your u-joints. Check all of them while your at. u-joints are cheaper than the rear end.
