I cured this problem with my 85 by tightening an axle nut.  Somehow, it
had loosened up just a little bit, and really torquing it down with a
long 'cheater' bar made many vibrations dissapear.  If this is the case,
you probably need a new axle nut because yours has lost it's 'locking'
ability.  Even Pep boys sells them I believe if you're looking for a local
supplier.
