Vibes while driving - any speed?

I noticed that my truck seems to have a slight vibration while driving. It seems to be happening at virtually any speed - but most noticeable at highway speeds. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like the road is a little bumpy. After reading on here it sounds like it might be a u-joint - any other ideas?

Mine developed a vibration that was tire related too. Actually, it was ball joint related, but, the tires developed a severe cupping that caused the vibration. I was going to have it aligned and was checking over the front end before taking it in and found a lower ball joint that was bad. Ultimately, I replaced both upper and lower ball joints, haven't had it aligned yet, rotated the tires, and haven't had a problem with tire wear since. I figure I'll get it aligned when I get new tires, which should be a while off.
