Have you checked all the u-joints? They have a funny way of vibrating at particular speeds.

There should be some play in the yoke but I'm not sure how much. Have you checked the carrier bearing for seizure?

You really need to remove the drive shaft to check the u-joints. I had a vibration while slowing down around 20mph and I crawled under the truck and jerked and pulled on the drive shaft and couldn't feel any play. Finally I removed it and moved all the joints through their full range of motion and found that one was binding up. Replaced that joint and vibration is gone.
