That swaying is probably not enough "toe in" on the tie rod/front end alignment.

Of course with those tires ya never know. Watcha got in that bomb?

yea i like the rear shot. if it was me i would jack the nose up just a notch and run the wheels off of it. but then again im not into low trucks. Looks like an awesome trade to me.

It's swaying because your driving a 1960 F100 at more than 50 miles an hour!
