Vibrating issues

Hi all. Having some problems that I hope someone on here may have had some experience with.
Started about a month an half ago. Truck vibrating while driving down the highway. Thought I had a low tire and so pulled off to check...nothing I could see.
Took into shop for balancing and alignment. Not much better. Have had harmonic balanced replaced. No improvement. Drive belt removed and vibration remains. Truck has also been checked for misfires but there are none showing
Truck will also vibrate in park. As the rpm increases so does the vibration. You can't really feel it if it is just revved up but it happens when held at a certain rpm.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Three shops and not much hope. Current shop suspects torque converter but they aren't convinced.

Thanks all!!

It looks like TSB 19-002-12 may address this...is there any aftermarket equipment installed?
SUBJECT:
A Self-Sustaining Vibration (Shimmy) Of The Vehicle And Steering Wheel While Driving At Speeds Typically Above 50 MPH (80 KMH)
OVERVIEW:
Vehicles equipped with a solid front axle can be susceptible to steering shimmy. Often this condition is due to modifications to the vehicle that may involve aftermarket equipment that may not be compatible with the vehicle architecture or is not intended for on-road use. For original equipment, this condition can be corrected with routine inspection for properly maintained wheels and tires and replacement of damaged or worn components.

But also it vibrates in park as well. Not just while driving
