Default 1986 Squeak from rear during take off

My 1986 Squeaks from rear during take off. From zero to 20mph. Any ideas what this could be? I was thinking maybe the rear end? I haven't changed the gear oil in the rear since I've owned it. Or since it's owned me (changed most all other parts). The car has 150K.

Is it one squeak or does it get faster as the car moves? Could be the U-joints on either the half or drive shafts.

Yes, the squeak gets faster as the car moves. It also clunks when I put it in drive or reverse. How do I know what to order if I want to replace all the U-joints. I remember last time I tried to do this they asked me all these kinds of questions. I just want to replace all the U-joints. Thanks.

I'll vote for the half-shaft u-joints. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1479558
