At idle speed and turning tight i feel and hear chatter coming from the rear wheels. I walked next to truck and felt it thru the tire. I jacked up the rear and checked the wheels for play (none) pulled the tire and drum to check for sticking brakes. I replaced a leaky brake cylinder a few weeks ago so i thought it may be faulty. I do not think that is the problem.
Thanks

the chatter sound that you are hearing may be several things a bad U-joint, differential problems, but I think it's a front axle U-joint, that is a common occurrence on this particular truck.
