Time for new U Joints?

Time for new U Joints?
This has been happening since I have owned my truck and I have just modified my driving habits to reduce the frequency of its occurrence. If I don't very gently apply pressure on the accelerator I hear a pretty loud clunk along with unsettling jerk. I can recreate this sound and action at any speed by taking my foot off the accelerator and reapplying quick pressure on the accelerator. I have pretty much convinced myself that the source of this is the u joints. I have not checked to see if they are serviceable at this point. I just wanted to get a general consensus on my brief explanation.

Here's a post from another propshaft thread on here with a couple of pointers that aren't in the pdf.
There are two sets of instructions, the pdf that's floating around and an online one.

Frank, there are advance auto stores in Memphis so that would be the best place to get the parts. Neapco/PDQ 1-0005 u-joints x3 and 7-0081NG.
In the PDF (I've attached it as the old link only works if you have an account on the external site) it states that Spicer doesn't make the 5-4x u-joints. Since I gave Kevin that information Spicer has dropped that part number entirely.
