Really nasty hopping up and down....

I have developed a nasty 'hoping' between 60 and 72kmh. The truck feels like I have a tire "throughing" but when jacked up and let to run free it is perfect. The steady bearing seems ok too. I have a small tool box on the floor boards behing the passenger seat and the thing literally jumps up and down. This is noticable as I go up through 60>70 kph but is the worst as I come down through the same range. Its not noticeable in the steering wheel just seat of the pants rear end hop sensation. Strangest **** thing I ever seen. Any ideas???? Help!!
