'74 390 vibration

hello all,

here's the deal. had a 74 f-250 390 rebuilt.
run's like a champ...but(of course the but)...

from the start the truck takes off fine, but let's say I slow at a right hand turn and gas it...the shift from 1-2nd the damn thing shakes/rattles/vibrates...whatever the keyword is......

rebuild was done by a shop....

is this bad....please say no....

kv

Did they use all new parts like a new harmonic balancer and how is the condition of the carb?

So let me get this right if you sat in the driveway and rev this thing up its smooth?
Did you resurface the Flywheel? New pressure plate? Clutch chatter can cause that shudderrrrrr
