When I drive at 60-70, and make a full kickdown, car gets a little out of control. It feels like the rear's doing som steering of it's own.

Any easy solutions?

Measure the rearend from front to back on both sides.
if it is not correctly centered the car Dog tracks, and will
want to push the car in the direction to the straight line of the rear wheels under power.

Are the rear leaf springs still original? If so, you might want to replace those.

Also check the rear shackles and frt. mounting point of the leaf springs for damage or missing bushings.
