What you need (IMO) is a THRUST ANGLE ALIGNMENT where the rear axle is determined to be square with the frame and the front end is adjusted from that determination.
A four wheel alignment is for a car that has an adjustable rear suspension assembly.
If the rear end axle is determined to be out-of-align/square, you then go about determining the cause(es) by tramming the frame. Modern frame equipment can do this with sound or infra-red systems easily if specs for a 56 FORD is included in the software.
The 57 FORD SHOP MANUAL has the frame measurement charts. I do not know if the 56 does.
Have you noticed any irregular tire wear?
