I had a problem with the same symptom in a '30 CCPU I once owned. The bearing in the torque tube (near the U joint) came apart and the rollers jammed between the drive shaft and the inside of the torque tube.
Transmission would shift, but letting the clutch out would stall the engine. The rear wheels were locked up.
Remove the rear end and check torque tube before cracking open the differential.
