Bearings themselves shouldn't cause vibrations AFAIK. Have you gotten under your truck and tried shaking the drive shaft at the pinion? If it does move side to side that can cuase a vibration. And could be temp fixed by just tightening down the pinion nut. That, and have you checked to see if a wheel weight has fallen off? Did the vibration just show up one day or has it gradually gotten to the point it has? If it was instant I'm thinking wheel weight.
Fret not though, everything you replaced so far can only make your truck more reliable and probably needed replacing anyways

Not yet. Tore down an old shed this past weekend and had to haul off the debris to the county landfill. I'm planning to get to it this weekend and I'll let you know what happens. Sorry I haven't gotten to the boards sooner. Busy week, no time for fun?!

One more part on
Steve, just thought you might like to know that me and my "shadetree" buddy Bert got on the new radiator support today. Boy was it hot! Drank 2 gallons of water and sweated out 3!!!!. But, we got 'er done. Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also installed the "new" vent and frame at work the other day during lunch. 2 Saturdays ago, Bert and I got in the steering links. Just leaves the glove box, radius and pivot arm bushings, king pins, and an alignment. Slowly but surely we, or I , "git 'er done", one piece at a time.
