I'd check alignment, wheel balance, and driveline/u-joint play first.

Check the Tracking bar bushings, my 88 would do the exact same thing, very little play will allow it to shake it's self to death.

That's your truck welcoming you to the fun filled world of the Superduty, now get outside and start replacing the steering parts, and while your at it do some ball joints. Then your goo to go for another 100K
