Default Driveshaft or rear end problem

When I go I have a claddering or hub cap full of rock sound, or a can in a bike spoke, coming from my truck i don't know what the hell it is. I think it may be the drive shaft but not sure. hard to describe all I know is from inside the truck it sounds like its coming from the back. would a slip yoke do this. when I punch the gas the sound only gets louder till it stops.. hopefully you guys can lead me in the right direction.

Check the rear diff. The Gernade (G80) rear diff likes to go BOOM!!!!

Also, make sure someone isn't gagin you and put zip tys on the driveshaft. That will get em every time.
