Fords with twin I beam suspension are known for having upper ball joint and lower ball joint issues. Not always worn but in need of adjustment. I see many of these similar vehicles in my shop. Aftermarket companies make a reasonably priced budging that is adjustable. Any reputable alignment shop will be able to install them and adjust the front end back to factory specs.

What could be wrong with my tire if it bows in

Bows in at top or bottom? More than likely
you need your suspension aligned. The tire just follows the suspension. Misalignment can cause tire wear and handling problems. Front wheel drive cars need 4 wheel alignment to insure the back isn't steering the front. Other causes are shock/strut or control arm bushing wear or failure. Tie rod ends or idler arm wear can cause tire wear as well.
All parts should be tight and serviceable before alignment.

Both back tires bowed

Most likely bad wheel bearings or struts (shocks). If you never replaced them, I would say the struts are bad causing the alignment problem ( toe or camber) to your wheels.

1994 ford thunderbird lx. 4.6 v8. Im looking for sugestions on what is causing my rear tires to bow out on the bottom. They look like this: //~~~\\ The passenger side is bowed out about 3". the drivers...

That car has an independant rear suspension that has either been mis adjusted or something is broken. These rears have to be aligned just like the front suspension.
