I did have a problem with my "U" joints that caused a vibration.

Try this.....

See if the vibration is the same at the same speed in any gear to rule out the engine and most of the transmission. If it doesn't matter what gear but the vibration is the same at just the right speed then I would try swapping the tires around or maybe just have them balanced.

Be sure to tell the guy that is balancing them to check for out of round or excessive weight to balance them.

I did have a 79 245 that had frozed end caps on the u joint bearings that caused this type of vibration.

Good luck.
