The shaking isn't noticeable until about 60mph or so. It gradually gets worse until about 75mph, then tapers off. I'm not sure what sort of work has been done on the truck, but I'm pretty sure it isn't stock suspension. Does it sound like a rim/wheel issue or possibly a tie-rod or ball joint problem?
Thanks for your time.

Check the wheels for alignment and make sure hte balance is properly.

Could be driveshaft being disbalanced.

Bring the rpms in different gears, if it happens at a certain rpm and goes away when the car is put in neutral when it starts and it stops then its in the drivetrain.

If not suspect the suspention.
