1970 Datsun 240Z — steering wheel vibration only at one highway speed — anyone dealt with this recently?

1970 Datsun 240Z, about 241,000 miles. The car is smooth around town, but there is a noticeable steering-wheel vibration in a narrow highway speed range. It gets better again above that speed. Tires look normal at a glance. What would you test first before replacing anything? I am in Salt Lake City.

If it were in my driveway, swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 1970 Datsun 240Z and see if the fault moves. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Do that first. I'd rather be boring and correct. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.
