driveshaft retmoval on 76 swinger

well i am just about to drop the whole k frame with engine and trans attached but i want to remove the driveshaft first. i undid the 4 bolts at the rear u-joint and removed the 2 plates. i removed the trans crossmember. no matter what i do i cannot get the driveshaft to drop out. is there a snap ring or something i am missing? i only have my manual for the 67 and it doesnt mention anything about a snap ring or whatnot, but maybe there is a difference on the 76?

thanks again everyone
