Try shifting in too neutral to see if the vibration is still there, if so
turn engine off while still rolling with vibration still present to see if
it goes away this is to eliminate as much as you can Like engine ,clutch and
transmission , if vibration is still there than it is probable the drive
shaft or tires have them balanced first .
Is this an inclosed drive line if so it can be the bushing in the torque tub

Also wondering what highway speeds early 50's Chevys feel comfortable with?
Based on how fast people are passing me I think I'm doing about 25mph. <g>
But I've gone behind friends when moving something and found I can get to 60
mph or so. At about 50 a vibration starts up. I feel it primarily through
the gas pedal but a bit comes through the bench seat too.
The only thing I could think of is the prop shaft: possibly u-joint. I
don't want to take it off and into a drive shaft shop if it's not likely to
be the cause. Any thoughts on what else it might be? Only occurs at high
speed, and the truck as new steel belted tires and rims.
Thanks!
Paul
