the rubber center bearing sounds like a candidate, as well as the U-joints. Come to think of it, the sound may be u-joint related. I don't know all that much about u-joints, but could hitting them with degreaser have mucked them up?

Better U-joints have grease fittings. Makes them a little more difficult to replace, as the yokes are cast in such a way as allow the grease fitting to be directed in only one direction, otherwise it's snapped off.
I do mine, but the first time was no fun - actually it's never been fun. Sounds like your cheap (thrifty, I should say) like the rest of us and will do it yourself. If your's is a 67, it should have a rubber doughnut surrounding the carrier bearing (earlier version has the carrier supported on 2 pins and bushings)

I have not opened the differential or checked it's oil. Like a gearbox, it should be full to the plug, right?

Yes.
