Are you saying you can't get the shaft off the car, or you have the shaft off and can't get the u joint out of the shaft?

Do you have a cut off wheel? Likely the only way is to cut through the center of the curved part of the u bolt and the grab and twist each piece with a vise grip.

If youv'e got a mini grinder [4 1/2" ] with a cut off wheel, you should be able to cut the nuts off u-bolts, or cut the "shank" of u-bolt on other side of "pinion "flange. Thought you were going to get another car as this one is too far gone???  Regarding lifting the body, I doubt your engine lift will carry the weight, lift up one end of body & support it, then do same on other end leaving enough room on supports to roll out the chassis

My drive shaft fell out all on it's own this spring, 5 miles from home. Not on the beaumont, my '92 Silverado.
