silverado shakes
i will check them tomorrow. yes it was shaking before the new motor and tranny . but it does feel like a bent rim or unbalanced tire . i already eliminated that, i changed wheels and tires and it still shook at the same speed 60 to 70

well i camped out under my truck and pretty much went over every bolt,nut ,brace, mount etc. found left rear shock bushing wore out and loose . also got my wife to shimmy the steering wheel back and forth while i watched the rack and pinion and the rack moved back and forth about a 1/4 inch total. i dont know if its supposed to do that? i have a couple of friends at work that have silverados so i'll check theirs out tomorrow.

Visually check the leaf spring bushings. Where they bolt up. Might as well replace them if your gonna take apart to see. But those make a good difference in ride. Bushings are pretty cheap. Bout 20 for a set.

my 99 silverado starts to shake at @ 60 mph. had tires balanced,upper and lower control arm bushings replaced . upper and lower ball joints replaced , shocks ,rotors and it still shakes. i read somewhere to replace the cab bushings. any info or help would be greatly appreciated
I think you should check the wheel alignments of your vehicle. The problem may be there.
