U_Joint problems?

How can you tell if the u-joints are going bad in your truck? I have an '88 yota pickup 3.0 and 5 speed 4x4. When shifting it feels like there is a bit of lash in the drivetrain.... Also on take off in 1st and 2nd gear there seems to be a slight driveline vibration, goes away as the torque decreases and truck is up to speed.

Just looking for some ideas....

Thanks Rick

just go under the truck, drop one side of the d shaft, and rotate it and check if it has alot of play
