There are a couple other threads in this forum, concerning the handling qualities of these vehicles.
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1517
Yours is a Ford, with a Twin-I-Beam front suspension. Driving a vehicle with a Twin-I-Beam suspension has always been thought of a herding more than steering.
When the bushings are in good shape, the ride height is set properly, and the alignment is correct, it should drive just fine. Sometimes a rear sway bar can help, or a stiffer front sway bar, or stiffer springs, or all of the above. Does the suspension feel mushy when you steer back-and-forth? If so, this is an indicator that you may benefit from one of the above changes.
If you have new tires on it, make sure they are at or near their max pressure. Given the weight of these B's, the tires should be Load Range E, and an "E" tire usually has a 80psi max pressure. Check the sidewall of the tire, to verify all this info.

, but hate how it handles 
it`s very hard to keep on the lane because it tends to wander, also on the way back to KC MO, it was very windy and I had several close calls. I got push on to the lane next me by the wind. I've been told to change the tires, but the van has new tires all around, also to install a steering stabilizer, that`s more reasonable, and I can do it myself. Now, is this common of this vans I don`t think I can take another round of white nuckle driving again, and wer`e planning on going to FL for Christmas. By the time we got home my hands were really hurting, I don`t want that again. So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks for any help. Latter. Louie.
