Rearend shakes at take off with a load on.

[slider00200]

Truck is a 94 Rodeo 4X4 with a V6. While the truck has a somewhat heavy load in the back, the rearend shakes, or shimmies for about 15-20 seconds when taking off from a stop. It does not do this any other time though, only under load, and never while already driving.

Any ideas? I was thinking the U-Joint, but am not that familiar with these vehicles.

Thanks for the help,
