You can't get to the bolts for the frame to drop the drive shaft. Any suggestions??

The rear flange on that driveshaft is simply bolted to the rear pinion yoke.
Unbolt the flange and after placing a catch pan at the transmission tailshaft, slide the shaft toward the rear.
If you can't get at the bolts for the flange, you'll need to rotate the rear axle until you can.
