Squeaking is often a universal joint telling you it's about to fail. Take the driveshaft out and I bet you'll find one or more u-joints that are bound up.

if its a constant sqeak that speeds up as you speed the truck up then yeah u joint is dry and toasted
common issue on any vehicle
i replace quite a few a month for myself and others, working on them on my 78 c-10 driveshaft right now i am cutting down and re-welding together(putting in longer tranny)

good luck
