Angry damn vibration...

Im getting so tired of this damn vibration thats going on with my truck, i swap'd my 4 speed trans and transfer case and my rear end, i also bought brand new new u-joints for the rear driveshaft and still my truck vibrates. I also forgot to mention that i put a whole new clutch kit on it. I turned the driveshaft 90 degres and still it vibrates but there's one thing i want to ask yah guys. my truck originally had a two piece driveshaft before and its a 77 but when i did my front and rear end swap i just went with the one piece driveshaft. my truck is a 1/2 ton four wheel drive and i just want ANY info on what i could do to fix this cause im close to just parking it and i dont want to....

Pinion angle within spec?

Axle and output shaft parallel?

More detailed info:

Drive Shaft Harmonics

Your one piece DS may need to go regardless.

That DS, did you buy it from the scrappy or have it made? Is it straight with no dings? Was it balanced?

Each of the countless images here will lead you to some article somewhere....

The driveshaft on there now is off a 79 ford truck...which i put new u-joints on but the spline shaft that bolts to the rear of the transfer case yoke has some play, maybe an inch of play, is there suppose to be a little play there?

There shouldn't be that much play but my money is on drive line angle.
