That twin I beam was a terrible design that Ford kept using.
I knew a guy that worked at a tire store years ago and doing an alignment meant bending the I beams. They figured out that it was cheaper to install new front coil springs which brought back the alignment. (old ones would sag)
I managed a small fleet of 350's in the late 70's. By 12,000 miles the radius arm bushings were shot too.
Swapping tires side to side might help, I have seen that work too.
