Front end shakes

I have a 1987 GMC 3500 4x4. From time to time the front end shakes violently, to the point I have to stop then I can go again and it is okay. The shaking starts when hitting a bump. I put a new steering stabilizer, checked the shocks, checked the bushings. It is scary bad. Please help!
