Swamp, get a 2 x 4 about 4 ft long.  With the engine OFF, try to lift the engine at the motor mount on each side.  You may be able to see if the motor mount is broken.  Good luck.

Good idea but if I pick up a 2x4 I'll beat the hell out of it.  LOL  ;D

The truck runs great, but its got the shakes.  You know like a drunk, he drinks ok, but he gets the D.T.s Delirium termors.  More clues, when I hold the brake and push the gas the motor lifts up off the frame about 1/2- 3/4 of an inch, somebody said they do that.    :-\

Thanks I was just about to say it was the front motor mount.  Now how hard is it to fix labor or bucks.  I don't need anymore problems these days.  It's the driver side so you can see it move off the frame.

Motor mounts are'nt very difficult to put in your self. I've done it and I am by no means a mechanic.
