check your tranny and engine mounts.
they may be bad or going bad and will create that vibration. specially the tranny ones.

Did you check the fuel inertia switch in the passenger side kick panel ?
The fuel pump is powered :
the fuse to the fuel pump relay.
The fuel pump relay to the fuel inertia switch
The fuel inertia switch to the fuel pump itself.
At the fuel inertia switch in the kick panel, power from the relay is the Dark Green w/ Yellow stripe wire and the pink w/ black stripe wire is the power. from the fuel inertia switch to the fuel pump.
If you jumper the fuel pump relay, you should hear it run. If not pull the fuel pump relay, and check the pins in the relay socket, pin 30 should be the power from the fuse.
If you have power at pin #30, jumper the relay socket as shown with the red line above, and check the dark green w/ yellow stripe wire at the fuel inertia switch for power.
Press the button on the top of the fuel inertia switch, and check for power leaving the fuel inertia switch on the pink w/ black stripe wire.
This is tests good, check for power at the fuel pump, same pink w/ black stripe wire.
Fuel inertia switch info is in the owners manual, If you did not get an owners manual with your truck ( purchased used ), you can download one from Ford :

SOURCE: no power to fuel pump car was running fine just
Check for 12 volts power at the fuel pump harness. If no power is going to the pump, check the fuel pump relay. Also, check the fuel pump inertia switch. Ford usually has it on either inside left or right rear trunk fenders.

Disconnect the battery & any fuel lines you can and the same with electrical connectors first of all. Drain the tankwith a siphon pump if 3 gallons or more of fuel is present. It gets heavy to replace back in and dangerous too.. Have the tank supported now & remove the bolts from the tanks mounting straps. Drop the tank down about 6 inches and check for other connection that need to be removed
RFemove the center retainer to remove the fuel pump with the sending unit
I would replace both items since it is an older car and also replace the filter sock to the pump too

The fuel pump is inside the gas tank.. you must remove the tank to get at the fuel pump.. Before you do this You bcan check the relay to see if it works.. When yyou turn your ke6y to the start position.. you usually cne hear the relay click then about 1.5 seconds later it clicks again.. This is to charge the fuel sustem.. YOu can jump the fuel pump by installing a wire directly to the positive side of the fuel pump plug.. The plug is around the tank.. usually in the rear of the tank on a fuel tank harness. if you find the right connection power up the wire.. the fuel pump will run which will tell you if the pump is functioning..
Just because the pump is running does not mean it is pumping fuel.. try starting the engine if it runs..Another posibilty is the fuel filter clogged.. remove it and check to see if its open.. I have actually seen several cars that was nothing more than the fuel filter..
