My goodness people. Excessive vibration under load (with the gas on and in gear) typically means only one thing...
Bad motor mounts.
Whenever you apply power to the engine, especially under load (in gear) the torque produced by the engine wants to spin that engine around. The motor mounts resist that natural tendency, keeping engine motion to a minimum. If one or more of the mounts fails that will allow the engine to move twist in the mounts excessively. Eventually all that force will have to let go (thing of a suddenly letting go of a compressed spring). It is that rocking back and forth in the mounts that creates the vibration you feel when you accelerate. It goes away when you take your foot off the gas because the engine is no longer under load.

It sounds like warped rotors, if you do a lot of hard or panic braking that will cause the rotors to warp and not wear the pads much, it's dangerous to do that and can cause a lot of problems, if the van has drum brakes on back there is a simple test that I have used time and time again and it works, while driving at a safe speed, poll the parking brake release handle and slowly apply the parking brake, DO NOT STOP the car like this it is only a test, it the vehicle vibrates then it is the drums that need to be turned.

This is symptomatic of a dead cylinder. You may have a dead fuel injector or a spark plug that is way out of specifications when compared to the others.
They need to do an OHM's test on the injectors and look at the plugs. Maybe you'll get by with a fuel injection cleaning which runs an aerosol can right into the fuel line next to the injectors and then they dump a bottle of stuff in the gas tank.
Good Luck!

Take your car to a shop and have the motor mounts checked out.

Sounds like it needs a tune up. Spark plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor, fuel filter. Start there first before going to anything major.

check out your u-joints also, best to have all the mounts checked, motor and transmission. easy to do and will tell you if it is a more serious problem
