Front end shaking between 25-60 MPH

I have a 96 F150 with 2wd and the long bed. I got it a couple years ago and ever since I bought it it had a shaking feeling from the front wheels area while cruising between 25 and 60. When I release the gas or accelerate it disappears. It has a new steering rack. The tyres are a bit old and the tread isnt the greatest, but other than that work just fine. No cracks or holes. The bead is fully seated both sides. Any help would be appreciated.

You say it is coming from the front, but the fact it goes away when not in float tells me it's is either the u-joints or your pinion bushing in the rear end.

On a truck that old you've got a lot of options for what could be wrong. I generally agree that if it goes away when you're off the gas the driveline is your first place to look. But on my '90 everything was toast. Replaced everything and now it drives like a truck, as opposed to a broken bulldozer.
