Welcome to the forum - start with wheel balance! Then look for worn u/js on the prop shaft and some have found the rear axle 'perches' that the rear springs fit to - have rotted badly allowing the axle to rotate so the prop shaft can't run as it should.

Also check the prop / diff flange for run out.....
