Getting out of balance driveshaft, weighting, dents, or loose bolts. Check all that too.

The driveshaft is still bolted in but the vibration is back and just as bad as it was for the 6 weeks. I guess it wasn't the driveshaft causing the problem but it was the result.I am scared. Reading some forums I found the problem could be maybe i installed the shaft 180 degrees wrong. Also maybe the guy who did the rebuilding messed it up but I doubt that. Advice - don't keep driving with that noise.
How long is your truck? Long bed,short bed,ext.cab,etc..... ?
