It starts around 50. it is very little but when you get to 60 it gets worse and then at 70 it bad!!! I mean so bad its almost like the truck is going to come apart.

Get that thing up on a Floor Jack (single point of lift under diff) and put it in gear.
Look at the wheels (round/wobble/balance) check the drive shaft for straight and maybe a clip is missing out of the rear U-Joint.
