Yep, lube the u-joints, check differential oil level, and if it has a Carrier Bearing, (Large bearing mounted in a frame that is bolted up to the underside of the truck, supporting the mid-section of the driveshaft), I would almost bet that is the culprit, if it's not the rear end. Not too expensive, you need to unbolt the rear yoke, then the carrier brg, and drop the shaft from the trans. You'll probably need to have a driveline shop or machine shop pull the old carrier and press the new one on.
