Deep vibration/ shutter at 60mph+

1994 f150 4x4 4.9 I6 5-speed regular cab. The vibration starts at 60-65 mph and gets worse if I keep accelerating. Vibration stops instantly when I let off the gas even when going over 75 mph; that makes me think it's not the tires (even though it could use some new ones). I don't feel it in the steering wheel and it's like a deep noise, kinda like letting out the clutch when you accidentally shift to overdrive from 2nd gear. Is it an ignition issue? Driveshaft? Rear end?

I already have a new fuel pressure regulator I'm planning on installing soon, but how do I check the fuel injectors? What do I look for?

Also, no I have not pulled codes.
