I would almost bet that it is the drive shaft out of balance.

If it was the drive shaft, wouldnt it do it whether you are accelerating or not?

When my truck was just a little out of alignment it did the same thing. I took it to GMC and they realigned the toe and it still did it. I then took it to a specific alignment shop, they did a complete alignment, which got rid of the problem!
