Dago, it may well be your caster, especially with wide tires. Stock Pantera suspension cannot adjust caster to more than about 2.6 degrees back. Corvettes of the same era use up to 6 degrees (with power steering to compensate for the extra steering load, the wimps!) The tiny amount of caster possible produces the car's equivalent of a motorcycle speed-wobble or tank-slapper.
There are a whole variety of ways to increase caster, but the simplest (and completely reversable if you desire) is by adding offset urethane bushings to the upper a-arms. Pantera caster then goes to about -4 degrees. Adding a second set of offset bushings to the lower a-arms increases caster again, to about 5-1/2 degrees total. By shaving 0.080" off one side of the upper ball joint carrier, will give an additional 1/2 degree.
I've found that on a street car, more than about 4-1/2 degrees of caster becomes hard to park or drive slow around town. But 4-1/2 degrees was tolerable and was enough to cure shimmy and hunting in our '72, even on bumpy crowned roads.
