You could try chalking the front tires so the truck won't roll back anymore. Jack it up by the receiver hitch to get it up off the axel. Then with a helper you'll need to put the transmission in neutral so you can roll the rear end back while guiding the driveshaft back in.
I know a guy can come help me soon, but Someone would have to line it up while rolling it from the rear??

Is it a one or 2 piece drive shaft if its one piece you have to guide it into the Transmission spline if 2 piece then you have to get back onto the spline at the carrier bearing,You have to loosen the Dust boot Nut to allow it to slide in,You're probably better off just taking the U Bolts off of the Differential Pinion and drop the drive shaft then roll the right wheel forward. Calm Down its not that bad of a situation You can Do It!!!

Agreed! Think if I can get another set of hands that will be the plan. Just drop the drive shaft, line up the rear again and get the drive shift slipped back in..
hey maybe i can get the rear blocks in then too 😅
