The Ford Barn

When I take my '31 PicUp out for a drive, first one of the day, and I lightly press the brakes - I get the front end wobble. Have new tires, brakes all around, F-150 Ford Steering Box, new king-pins/bushings and the rest of steering is tight. Have already adjusted F-100 Steering Box per instructions. What I've noticed: It happens after setting over-nite. It happens ONLY when I lightly use the brakes. It happen ONLY with the brakes are in use, however, if I brake aggressively -- it doesn't happen. After I've driven for a few miles, the wobble seems to go away when I lightly brake -- it's as if after the brakes have heated, it's normal. What am I missing?
Thanks
