My 59 Chevy has a terrible driveline vibration. The truck was recently upgraded from 2wd to 4wd. The mechanic put in a new transmission, t-case, front and rear axle, custom driveshafts and 5 inch lift leaves.

The vibration is bad enough to cause the rear axle to jump and hop and I can't even get moving.

I suspect the engine mounts are bad and allowing the engine to twist and move. The clutch might need to be replaced also.

does this sound like a possible culprit. Can I buy stronger motor mounts (something that can deal with the stronger 350 motor). Is there anything else I should look at as a possible culprit.

Don is right on, especially if the truck has been raised. Sounds like U-joints are binding. Good luck!
