How many miles do you have on your truck? I had a similar vibration on my truck it's got 860,000. My u-joints looked ok and didnt appear to have excessive slack. The carrier bearing had a little up and down movement in it though. I hated the shaking so I replaced all that stuff against the advice of some friends who said everything looked fine to them. Also got the balance checked on the driveshafts while we had them out. It's like a brand new truck again it's unbelievable! I've also balanced all the wheels, installed centramatics and had an alignment done somehwere that knows how to do it right. I cant stand shimmy, shake etc and I'm real happy with results I got from all this work. My overall point would be it might be worth your while to do these things I've mentioned if your truck is high mileage like mine.
