You will need a transmission jack (buy or rent), and wheel ramps or very good jackstands. Raise the front wheels and support it properly. Set the parking brake and block the rear wheels. Disconnect the driveshaft at the rear axle. You may need to remove part of the exhaust system if it is in the way. Disconnect the shift linkage and vacuum line, and any other wires or cables. Remove the plate at the bottom of the bellhousing and unbolt the torque converter from the flex plate (flywheel). Get the transmission jack under it and then remove the transmission mount bolts and the bolts attaching it to the motor. Once you get everything disconnected, pull it back about 4 to 6 inches, it should separate from the motor and can be lowered down and rolled out.

Something is loose there. Secure the front wheels with blocks, raise the back of the pickup and start vigorously shaking things (in the order of probability): exhaust line (most likely problem since its rubber bushings wear out the fastest), suspension parts, shock absorbers, transmission shaft and the wheel themselves.
