I need the expertise of this group.

I have an 80 B (named AWGEE) that has a significant vibration in the rear 
end when I exceed 55 mph.  It feels exactly like one or both tires are out 
of balance or out of round.  I began my pursuit with balancing the rears.   
Then I checked them for true and they weren't.  I replaced both rear wire 
wheels and bought new tires.  All are now balanced and true and still there 
is the same characteristic wobble vibration over 55mph.   I hate it!!!

I'm running out of ideas.  I replaced the rear seal on one side a year or so 
ago and I can't think this would cause the vibration.  Rear brakes and drums 
are fine.  There is some slop in the drive shaft.  I have not done U joints 
or had it balanced.

Any ideas?
