no its good flat area and got my neighbor to"rock the truck" for me. I could remove the drive shaft and did last year but the bolts are frozen I have them soaking in oil right now to see if I can free them later.

ok I have the rear end up, I can spin the tires there seems to be no problem I beleive it is a posi unit as the tires spin in the same direction. Is there a test I can do at this point to find a probable problem?

If you can help it don't drive it cuz you are risking a major diff prob. If it's not already too far gone.
