Eric,
Welcome to FTE!
Strange problem you are reporting. Vibration could be several of things: unbalanced driveshaft, unbalanced tires. You mentioned that stepping on the brakes seems to complicate the issue. Can you be a little more descriptive about what happens or exactly what the sounds you heard were?

Okay,
Does the vibration get worse when you push on the gas pedal? Then go away when you let go? or does it vary with speed. Usually driveline vibrations are worse when you push on the gas.
Or,
Does it get worse when you push on the brake? Can you feel the vibration pulsate the brake pedal? Can you feel your steering wheel pulsate left to right with the vibration? or can you just feel the back of the truck jump around.
It sounds possible to me that you may have broken springs in your brake drum assembly.
That or a bad wheel bearing. Either way it needs to be checked out.
