Driveshaft and Diff mount replaced and all is well. Smooth as silk all the way up to 90mph (as fast as I took it on the Interstate) and so quiet.
Comparing the U-Joints to each other, it was very obvious that the original one was toast. Stiff, slightly gritty, and just a barely perceptible "notch" if you went slow enough and were really feeling for it. New U-Joint is very smooth and quite "loose" in comparison to the old.
Just need to fix the seat springs and it's weekend roadtrip time.
