It could many many many things, more details on what type vibration, when it started, etc. Also give this chart a read.

The vib started almost 2yrs ago and it was so little but now it's vibrating so bad , it's like mobile phon vibration but stronger . The vibration increased and decreased by speed and It also had a continuous bass like sound

Can you jack up the front of the vehicle? If so grab the top of the tire (12 o'clock) and wiggle it. If you can you could have a bad bearing(s).

Put blocks on front tires and then put the rear up on jack stands (so the rear tires aren't touching the ground).
Start the vehicle and put it in drive.
Now get out and drop down to your knees and look at the driveshaft from the side.
If you see ANY type of wobble or jump rope effect in your driveshaft, then THAT is your problem. You need to get driveshaft replaced / balanced /straightened.

I just went through this little nightmare myself.

Oh yeah, if your truck is 4WD, make sure you don't have the front axle engaged when you do this!

Just a thought.

You need to check the U joints in the shaft first, pull the drive shaft out (12 point 12 mm socket) be sure to block your wheels before you do this and see if both U joints move freely. You cannot check a U joint without removing the drive shaft so you can full articulate the joints in both directions.

Whens the last time it had new U joints at the front and back of the rear drive shaft?

^^^^
This...first....

If U joints are good, PM me and I will give you the info for the place that built mine for me. They are awesome, friendly and professional. My new driveshaft from them turned my Ex's driving experience into a whole new world.

Then before you do anything else you need to pull that shaft off and check/replace those U joints. You cannot tell if a U joint is bad by looking, you have to take the shaft off the truck. This isn't an expensive fix, so it's worth the time to do this and change the joints before you lighten your wallet on more expensive causes.
