back end bouncing

This weekend I hauled a load of firewood in my 2005 SCREW and when I reached about 63mph or more, the truck would start bouncing. It looked like the bed of the truck was flexing where it meets the cab. I noticed this 1 other time when I hauled a popup camper, but just figured it was the tongue weight.
Any ideas?

So nobody has heard of something like this happening? It felt like I was hitting dips in the hiway about every 20'.

I have never had that happen in fact with a heavy load it should ride its smoothest, check your shocks and leaf springs if you haven't already

if your noticing alot of movement between the box and cab i dont think it's a suspension or a tire problem, check the frame for cracks, loose bolts , Some amount of movement is normal though. although if your socks arent the best and the truck bounces over bumps it will cause the frame to twist
