F150 Vibration Problem

I have a 1997 F150 SC 4.6 V8 and when I reach 50MPH or so I get a vibration which acts as if the dash will shake off. It doesn't happe always but more often when I'm towing my Camper. Any Ideas?
Drive Train, Suspension, Transmission?

Try having the Tranny fluid and filter changed. Make sure the torque converter gets drained as well. A friend had the same problem and it worked for him. Mine does it as well, but I haven't gotten it fixed yet.

Do you feel it in the steering wheel/front end? Since it is speed dependent you might check your tire wear, balance, and psi.

...Sorry didn't finish...I had a '71 Ford truck that felt like it was going to shake apart at about 40-50 mph. It turned out to be the front tire wear and balance (this was a big deal, I was 16 and had to buy tires).
