Front end Q's
On my `86 F250 2wd I noticed something. When backing up the front end squats really noticeably. Going forward again and it levels back out.
Of all the twin I beam trucks I have owned over the years, I didnt remember them doing this. At least not so obvious.

That is caused by Toe in mostly ... As you back up it drives each tire outwards effectively widening the track width and causing squat.
Might want to have your front end checked/aligned if it's is doing it a lot you may have excessive toe in.
-Enjoy

They all do it some. How is your front tire wear pattern?
