Jason,...
The problem with these trucks is that the "track width" on all the 60-87 trucks is wider on the front.

The 71-87 trucks aren't as noticeable as the 60-70 trucks that have been "converted" to disc brakes. Like Nate said,... the combination of the narrower rearend, and the wider front track width (from adding disc brakes) makes it really apparent.
I try to hide this by running narrower wheels up front and wider in the back. On a low buck project like my '69 I use different size ralleys.
If your budget can afford billet wheels,... use different sizes or backspacing.
