I do know that the car had the shocks replaced before I bought it, but I don't think that would cause anything.
How hard is u-joint replacement? How hard would it be to change in my driveway?

RE: Clunk from the rear end..any ideas?
Eh...well I do work at a GM dealer, cheap labor. I'll check the u-joint before I go off getting anything fixed.
What I find funny is that I plan on getting 3.73's installed this winter...$500 labor for the install and $160 for the gears and $90 for the install kit, total coming to $750. I can buy a brand new ford racing rear end from summit racing ( here ) for $789 with 3.73 gears already installed, doesn't come with the axles, though. Hah...

Tell me about it...$60 for an oil change and trans flush with syncromesh.
Still, I really hope this ujoint is the problem. I would **** a brick if I had to replace the rear end. Coconut would be parked for a while while I saved up money.

Grabbem - this is a clunk you feel more than hear. I had a bad shock bushing in my old car and the symptoms aren't similar at all.
