Question Loud Squeek on reverse only

I have a 2002 F150 4X4. I have just developed a loud squeeking in reverse only. It seems to be drive shaft, U-joint or transfer bearing related. It only does it when the truck is moving in reverse?? Any ideas?

It will be a U-Joint. Remove the driveshaft and check for a siezed joint.
