Ball and trunnion to u-joint conversion?

They don't really explode; they just tear, and whipping around at driveshaft speed finishes the job. It sounds like a card in the spokes of your bicycle wheel times 10.

65ChargerDart, I'm probably going to go the new driveshaft route, but I'll keep you in mind. Thank you.

I haven't done anything about this problem yet. The Dart's in storage for most of the summer; it's kind of my colder weather old car. I have a spare driveshaft in the garage that I'm going to take over to the shop sometime this summer, and when I bring the car home to do some work on it, I'll swap it out then.
