Help With Intermittent Vibration Please

It sounds like what happens when you run over rumble strips, or the grooves on the berm of the freeway. Lasts for 1-2 seconds. It might do this 2-3 times a minute, or go for 5 minutes without doing it. Any speed above 30 mph. Four new tires, and air is up to snuff. Definitely not balance either. Trans? Anyone ever experience something similar? Appreciate any help. 94 F150 std. cab 2wd 302 auto.
