Drive Shaft
I have a '65 F100 short bed with a straight 6 240 and three on the tree. While out on a drive today I started to get a shudder when decelerating and it sounds like it might be coming from the rear differential. I got home and crawled under the truck to check the drive shaft. It has a little play when turned by hand, it should not do this correct?

A little rotational play in the rear differential is normal. Any play in the universal joints is bad. If they have grease fittings on them give them a few pumps and see if anything changes. If the universal joints look like they have been there for decades, it might be time for some new ones.
