I’m not sure whether this car has one or not (not all that familiar with square cars) but a lot of them used a two piece shafts utilizing a hanger bearing somewhere along its length. If so your noise maybe the hanger bearing?

If it is not the carrier bearing DanD described make sure you check the rear axle bearings. These cars are notorious for them and the rumble tends to resonate throughout the rear and mid sections of the car.
