vibration in steering wheel

I have a 1988 f250 with 35 inch mud tires on it and when im driving at speeds over like 40 mph if I turn the wheel to the left or the right I get a vibration or shaking in the steering wheel. Any Ideas on what it is?

Is it death wobble or just small vibrations?

Does it happen only when driving?

Have you had it aligned recently? It might be that the caster is far enough off that you are getting a whipping action when turning the wheel. Also, have you considered a steering stabilizer? This would help to cut that down, but I would suggest getting a good alignment first.
