Don't mean to state the obvious, but here is what I would look for:

1) make sure your wheels are all balanced
2) make sure your rims are true and not out of round
3) make sure your tires are true and not out of round

Best way to do this is to yank them off the truck and mount them up to a
spin balancer and check all three items above.

If you can locate a buddy with a good set of tires and wheels that will fit
on your truck, see if you can put em on your truck and take it for a test
spin...at least you can possibly narrow down the problem this way.

It doesn't sound like a drive line problem as those usually start at 35 mph
and have a tendency to smooth out by the time you hit 50.

If you already have the problem fixed and are looking for help with
Chrysler, I don't have any advice there other than getting a good attorney
(an oxymoron and I have yet to meet a good one)
