driveshaft?
i'm new to this site and i need a little help. I have a 75 F100 ranger 2 wheel drive well recently when i get up to 35-40 mph it starts to vibrate and runs a little rough. I've had it for about a year now and it's always run real good. did an oil change and tune up recently. I not sure if it's the wheel bearing or the driveshaft? any advice would help. thanks

For sure it is road speed related and not engine related?
Road speed:
Wheel weights
Driveshaft including u-joints
Bent wheel?
Engine Speed:
Balancer
Cracked flexplate/flywheel
Loose convertor if automatic

If a two-piece driveshaft, there is a U shaped rubber center support, a center support sealed bearing.
When the bearing's grease dries out, and/or the rubber support disintigrates, the driveshaft vibrates.
Ford sells these parts along with the bracket and shims as a kit.

Vibrations can be tough to diagnose. As Josh pointed out, there are all sorts of things that can cause it.
