front end vibration

I have a '69 Traveller that has had a front end problem since I got it about
7 months ago.  At about 60-65mph the steering starts getting loose and
steering wheel vibrates.  It seems to be worse decelerating than
accelerating.  I found wear at one tie rod end and replaced both of them
along with the steering rack boots, which were also due for replacement.

That had no affect at all on the vibration problem, as I found out this
weekend driving from Berkeley to the Dixon, CA  meet. The Traveller has
about 97,000 miles on it. I am wondering if I should get the front end
aligned and have the wheels balanced or if that would be a waste of money
and I really need to replace the whole rack.

Any ideas?
