Default Bad Vibration

I just got a Strange 12 bolt and a cromoly drive shaft from a friend who totaled his car. I just got it in to day and took it for a drive. At lower speeds up to i say 60 its fine. but on the freeway at high speeds as soon as i push in the clutch there is a very bad vibration. what do you guys think it is the drive shaft or rearend?? I also noticed that the yoke was alittle differnt. it had a ring on it and the yoke looked alittle longer. i figured it would be fine cause it came out of a 1997 TA and i have a 1996 Camaro. Any help would be great.
Thanks.
