Why would the rear end of your car sway while driving on imperfect roads after you have 4 new tires and an alignment?

1. Your car may have had previous frame and/or unibody damage. 2. Did you have a 2-wheel or 4-wheel alignment done? If it was only a 2-wheel alignment, the rear axle(s) may not have been properly aligned with the front ones, so that your vehicle may "dog-track" with rear end swaying to one side or the other after you hit bumps or uneven road. 3. Your front or rear shock absorbers may be worn out. 4. Make sure that the new tires are the correct size as recommended by the manufacturer of your car.

Your tires are bad or you need an alignment. Get your tires checked, they may need to be replaced or rotated, and you can check your alignment by letting go of the steering wheel while driving, if it drifts left or right significantly, you need an alignment.

Your vehicle owner's manual has tire inspection or replacement recommendations but your tires should be replaced if they are over 5 years old or the remaining tread is 5/32" for driving in snow, 4/32" for driving on wet roads and 2/32" for driving on dry roads.
How do you do a front end alignment on your 69 Plymouth roadrunner?
Wheel alignments require special equipment, but to do a rough alignment,(such as after replacing steering parts)to get you to the alignment shop, you can measure the back of the front tires at center, and the front of the front tire at center and ensure that the two measurements are the same.Then go straight to the shop. Driving with the alignment out wears tires and can result in loss of control.

There is a list of causes, ranging from newer roads to tire wear to bad alignment. Drive a gravel road to eliminate that possibility. I would guess, however, that your tires are not wearing evenly...rotate the tires. There should be a pattern for rotation in your owner's manual.
