Mine had torn the bolt out of the diff housing itself ,the only way to avoid the clunks was also very smooth clutch control.Im not sure if its the same on the these fords, but to test the propshaft just put it in gear with the hand brake on and look for uni play whilst turning the prop shaft by hand back and forth.

Id jack it up n remove the tailshaft & try spinning the wheels and diff input yoke, that'll give you a fairly good idea where the problem is.
