Well I finally got back to looking at this and took very precise digital angle measurements. My drive shaft is 13.8/14.0 degrees and my pinion yoke is 14.5 degrees. I took both measurements on level ground, half a tank of gas. Measured with the level on the top of the driveshaft and took the driveshaft off to measure the yoke across the flats with the yoke vertical.
I have a vibration at 60 mph and above which is more obvious when I get off the gas. Not a crazy vibration - a steady low frequency buzz throughout the truck from steering wheel to hood to rear gate.
I was hoping it was the angle I can fix that.
My front driveshaft was professionally shortened and balanced when I added my 4R70W. The rear one is a little rough. Driveway shortening job and someone welded the cap of the u-joint to the yoke. Maybe I need to get that fixed!
