Have you got underneath the truck and inspect the three mounts? Take a pry bar with you and see if either motor mount is loose, then do the same with the trans mount. Take a look at that bell housing where it bolts to the block and check for broken or cracked areas. If it's shaking the whole truck something is broken, broken loose, or bent. Might give that drive line a close inspection as well...Chock the wheels and have a competent person get in and apply the brake and put the truck in gear while you watch the motor straddling a fender. Do not use an angry wife! Might take a look at the rear axle, trailing arms, all four springs, and the panhard bar too...
