Have you checked your carrier bearing on your 40ft driveshaft? that thing can shake your teeth out

FWIW, I would often carry five 50 pounds bags of landscape rocks/stone in the bed for added weight, three bags laid flat nearest/along the tailgate and the other two bags laid flat between the wheel wells. Adding that 250 pounds in the bed just behind and over the axle seemed to help smooth the ride, that is compared to the bed being empty. Line X and a laid back driving style usually kept those bags in check.

Its dark out already or I would go snap a pic for ya. If you look under your truck your driveshaft is really 2 driveshafts, where they meet in the middle of the truck there is a support bearing, when that baby goes out it will shake you around real good. It will most likely be a perpetual shake that gets worse with speed

Here's a question for you... Are your tires round? Jack it up and spin the tires while watching the edge. Broken belts or cupping will make it ride like a brick wagon.
