Front wheel bearing seal
 

1971 C20 Spindle
This rotor does not look properly seated on spindle. From reading on here the seal does NOT mount flush. Should the seal not run on the Spindles most inner race?

Id say the seal should be on the clean edge...

Well to start it looks to me the seal is not all the way installed in the rotor. It should be flush with the edge of the rotor hub. If it was me I would remove the seal from the rotor and test fit the seal on the spindle. Before test fitting it clean off the spindle and check for burrs sand accordingly. Then apply some grease to the spindle where the seal goes and test fit.

Shouldn’t there be a dust shield between the seal and the spindle?

Yes, the seal should be pretty much flush in the rotor and it should ride on the seal area of spindle. Kind of looks like the seal is installed backwards which would probably make it difficult to install rotor all the way.

Seal is in correct orientation. These seals from reading on here do NOT sit flush.
Regarding the dust shield - very hard to find a C20 shield for these trucks.
