    Do the 72 Mavericks track like the F100's did with the rear wheels tracking inside the front wheels? Just looking at my 72 Maverick and it looks like the rear wheels are not sitting out as far as the front.

    It is common practice to have the rear wheel track narrower than the front wheels.
    It has to do with the the effect of uneven torque transmitted by the rear wheels.
