2004 vibration

I may go look at this truck in a couple days if it is still available. Here is what it says in the description.
"2004 Ford F250 FX4 for sale. 5.4l v8, automatic transmission, 4x4, 152,000 miles. Truck runs and drives good but needs a rear drive shafts due to a vibration above 50mph."
Are their any known issues with these? I am guessing it is a u-joint or something, not the driveshaft. Thanks

Could be as simple as a bad tire or tires needing to be balanced. But definitely use it to your advantage.

Traded my 04 with 6.0 this fall but went through same vibration this past summer. Put 3 new u-joints in driveshaft then got vibration. After pulling my hair out I took a shot and lowered carrier bearing by a washer width (approx 1\16). Took out 99% of vibration !

I have the same truck except it's an f350 mine is a ext cab short bed and it has a vibration starting at 55mph and goes on up. It's been six years now and I still haven't figured out what's causing this issue
