Haven't bumped anything with a wheel have you? Kinda remote issue, because the OE wheels on this model are quite strong. Raise it one wheel at a time, and check for wobble or run-out. If no wobble on the wheel, look at the tread surface itself while you rotate it. Sometimes, the tires just ain't round no more, especially if they're Firestones. I wouldn't put a Firestone tire on a wheel barrow. If nothing there, get the balance check on the tires. Do all 4 because the suspension and frame on these trucks are quite stiff, and any one of the tires can cause the whole truck to shake like a wet dog.

Could be the bushings on the rocker arms. I have the same type of vibration that I feel right under my feet. I know mine is bushings. I'd check all your bushings as they do break down and things start to wobble.

flareside, notice any strange wear on the inside edges (other than the normal twin I-Beam camber wear) of the front tires? Should be some pretty significant cupping if things are getting loose in the front end. Gonna do those bushings, get some new struts while you're at it.
