Is it the dash vibrating or is because of wheel vibration? Generally the dash is pretty sturdy and unless its been in a major prang and the panel beaters have missed putting some of the screws back, it shouldn't vibrate. If the vibration starts at a certain speed and the steering wheel vibrates too, I would say its a wheel balance problem. Any Tyre place should be able to rebalance the wheels and sort this out for you. There is a possibility of a drive shaft vibration but im not sure how you check that out. If it is the dash, then good luck... There are many screws, bolts etc that hold the dash together, You will have to by trial and error , see which one is loose or missing. Before you do anything though, check that nothing is loose and rattling or vibrating in your glove box, ashtray or tissue holder. . There used to be this ad on TV showing a Guy who stripped his entire dashboard down to fix an annoying rattle. When he was looking at the hundred parts or so lying on the driveway, he found a couple of spare coins nuts and bolts rattling around in the ashtray which was the cause of the rattle!

Hi, High-pitched sound is usually a belt - unlike nearly everything else, rubber expands when cold and shrinks when warm, so after start, noise goes away. Please check the bellow link:- http://www.ehow.com/list_7223257_causes-vibration-cold-truck-engine_.html Please accept the solution if it's helpful. Do get back to us for any further query.
Open hood, have someone else start, and you look/listen for noise to pinpoint.
Could be just an adjustment.
