Default 1964-1970 alignment specs vs 1971-1972

Can anyone tell me why the wheel alignment specs changed for 1971-1972?

The specs for my 68 are:

0.25 degrees camber
-1.50 degrees caster
0.06 in total toe

1971 -1972 are:

0.00 Camber
-1.50 caster
0.13" total toe

Only thing I can think of is maybe 1971 was the beginning of radial tires. Not sure, just a guess. I am running the goodyear bias ply repops

I am going to see if I can increase the caster some & still keep the camber in spec.
maybe cut back some of that ditch searching negative caster always has.

Any thoughts? Probably should have made this post a week ago, I just didn't realize there was a change when all the parts invloved are pretty much the same.
pretty much in the middle of it right now
