If it is when you take off fast, it could be a pinion angle problem. My truck, when tied to a trailer, would vibrate bad when taking off because of the weak springs allowing the differential to twist upward during acceleration. My driveshaft would actually start vibrating until I let reached cruising speed and let off the gas. If you take off slow and still have a vibration then might be something else. Axle wrap is a problem with these trucks. Could also be bad u-joints. Check the bolts holding your transmission down for tightness and also your center drivshaft bearing. If you have a lift, that will make the problem even worse.
