Did you hit anything recently? Did the problem just come out of nowhere or has it been getting worse and worse? You're explanation is kinda hard to follow, especially with no punctuation.

Is it only at certain RPM's? or at certain speeds only?

Can you translate that to ENGLISH?

We I need a little more info, but I'm going to go off the bat and say you need a new drive shaft.

Being the older bro I was asked by 5.0L_OF_Fury to look at the car. ginve opinions, diagnose the problem and effectively fix it. Looked at the Car Got belts showin on rear tires.. BUT WE GOT ONE HECKUVA BURNOUT ON VIDEO LAST MONTH. So the rear end does need work. But I picked up a good trac loc w/ good 3.27 gears this weekend were gonna swap in and get some new shoes on er and be good to go... We think..

I would bet the vibration is due to the tire wear more than anything else.

Default vibration

How about bad tie rod ends, wasted front tires, warped rotors, wasted wheel bearings, bad rack...........Take a good look dude...maybe something simple or lose?
