re: 'Is this the dreaded "scuttle shake?" '

Yep.  The big question is why you haven't had it before.  What's changed?

This has been discussed ad nauseum here and on the forum.  It's usually some 
combination of:

1) wheels/tires out-of-balance or true
2) rear drums out-of-balance
3) driveshaft out-of-balance
4) bad shocks
5) loose king pin bushings
6) design flaw in the 6-cyl chassis (resonance induced by #1-5 above)
