need more info? where do u feel the vibration? seat, steering wheel, front rear, will it vibrate sitting still or reving engine. I would suggest lifting rear wheels off the ground run it up. then remove the wheels and see if vibration goes away.

Are you sure the driveshaft is not out of balance? Not sure how it could happen on an f-body but might deserve a look.

When you say you have tried everything, we can guess that the alignment and tires are fine?? Many years ago I had a problem with another car that did what yours did. After 3 alignments I finally found a place that diagnosed the issue as a bad tire. It couldn't be seen from the outside. A belt had separated if I remember right. I hope it's that simple for you.

Vibration is either rpm based or speed based. If it's happening only at a set speed it's generally wheel, tire, steering or bearing. If you leave it in park and increase rpms and there's no vibration it'll narrow your search down greatly.

I'm guessing after you installed the new parts in the rear you didn't get it 4 wheel aligned. If the rear end is slightly left or right or just cocked to one side it will vibrate. And I mean like one or two degrees. Go have a 4 wheel alignment done. Just because you count threads and think its okay. Chances are its not. Most think pinion angle, but angling it up or down should not alter the way the shaft spins through the u-joints. A compound angle is what causes it to vibrate.

I'm not sure if you saw street outlaws Bristol. But Chief had a problem with his car shaking and burning the front tires off it when they came down after the small power wheelie. If you watch, the first guy that comes up to chief says exactly whats wrong, (alignment) and Chief blows him off like he don't know what hes talking about. It was pulling right when it would come down. So they angled the rear end more to compensate and after it came down that time the car was so far out of alignment it scrubbed the tire so hard it blew it out and he hit the wall. I will bet it shook bad under power.

My 96 Impala SS did the same thing after a transmission re work it turned out to be the torque converter out of balance...
