I did take the truck to a CGR store near me. Unfortunately, he didn't have a machine for that "small" of a tire. Apparently they do mostly excavating equipment. However, he did ride with me and agreed that the issue was the front tires.
Then, I took it to another local tire shop who pulled both fronts off and balanced them to zero. I also checked the drums while the tires were off and everything visually looked good (they are balanced drums), for what that's worth.
However, after putting the tires back on and driving 100 yards down the road, the vibration was back.
At this point, I'm leaning toward a driveline issue, even though it doesn't feel like it. I'm going to work that path this weekend. -
Do you feel it in the seat or steering wheel?

I'd have the drive tires checked for balance

Have your tires cut back to round. We have been having tires trued for years, more important than balancing, in fact I do not balance tires on a class a truck. Trued then run them till they pop, (just kidding on the pop).
If your pulling your own trailer, rotate your steer tires off the drives on to the trailer .
Now you dont pull drives to the steer axle. ever -
