Vibration

I have a 1977 F150 ranger.Its a 4x4 with a 351m and a c6 tranny.It is a auto. When you first start from a dead stop it vibrates and shakes some.After it gets into a higher gear it gets better.It has plenty of fluid and does not leek.Can this be a tranny problem or something else? thanks all.

A vibration starting off could also be bad U-joints....

Was the vibration there before the U-joints were installed?
If it wasn't, the problem could still be U-joints, especially if some of the roller bearings in the cups were lost....
