Motor mounts? Tranny mount? They can be bad even if they look good to the eye. Those are probably the first things I would check. MK

Its got new tires, so I don't think that tires are the cause. I will check the motor and tranny mounts though. This truck is very tired....501K miles, and it really shows it lately. I have been thinking of restoring it, but I have a feeling it would cost as much as my house to do that. The old girl has a lot of sentimental value to me though. Thanks for the responses.

Sounds like a u-joint to me. And a visual or shake test won't do. Take them out and inspect. Replace as needed.

They were only a couple of months old and failed. Replaced them at the same time I had the transmission rebuilt. Thanks for the responses.

I had the same issue with my 1989 Ford Bronco II. As long as there was torque on the motor, it was fine. No torque there was rumble. Well I took it to my mechanic and he had to replace the throwout bearring in my Manual transmission.
