Jim..........You need more positive camber.The way it's set now will cause a lot of wander.A little more toe-in would be OK too.That is plenty of caster.Does it come back to center really quickly?Radials do require a little more caster than the factory settings due to the fact that they have so much less rolling resistance than bias plies.

Been there too with my pick-up. Page 268 of the '55 Car shop manual has a trouble shooting guide that lists 16 possible causes of "wander" in probable order of occurrence. #1 is tight spindle bearings. Camber low is #3. # 2 is tire pressure.

What's your tire pressure? radials should be around 32 to 35 PSI. I have been told toe-in on radials should be Zero
