Bad vibes at higher speeds. Possibly alignment?

When I hit about 75 km/h I start to get some vibration that seems to be coming from the front end. It gets worse if I try to speed up any faster, to the point where I already shook loose a rad mount.

Is this my alignment? Tire pressure is even, and this is a newly developed problem. Any help would be welcomed.

Thnx

My lower ball joints are bad and i get this similar shaking, and extreme tire wear too. floating steering, ok, maybe not quite the same as yours,,,, /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Like teh above folks stated, check balancing weights, get the truck on a jack/lift and check for loose balljoints, tie-rods and wheel bearings. If all checks then check your frame right behind the steering box to see if it's cracked, also check steering gear and drag link for play.
Have you recently hit a curb or something??
