shimmy and vibrates

I have a 1986 bronco 2 4x4 and I love it,but it shimmys at 60-75 mph it sat for a couple years but now I need it for transportation,I put new tires and had them balanced on the front,and replaced the ball joints on the passenger side,I will replace them on the drivers side if I have to,but I'm low on funds and don't wanna make any unneccesary purchases,they seem tight,no wiggle like the side I replaced...anyone have any idea what else it could be???I had an alignment done before I put it away a couple years ago,but it still shimmied...could it be tie rod ends??I know the rear tires are out of round from sitting for so long(probably about 6 years) Any advice will be greatly appreciated

I would suspect the rear tires are the problem.

I'm going with thetires too...sitting never really helps a tire. Overinflating them before an extended sit can help. At this point, check the tire pressures and then if you still have the problem, have them rebalanced.
