U joint , rear U joint but might as well replace them both if it is a one piece drive shaft .

If it's a rat rod doesn't that just add to the character? :lol:

I 3rd the U-joint. Could be pinion bearings or something further into the rearend (pray for U-joint). I had an S-10 once that squeeked like you describe, and it was actually the leaf springs- changed those plastic things between the leaf and the squeek went away... but I'm betting that's not common.
