Re: Front brakes
You may have the calipers for a 1" rotor and not the 1.25" rotor. Both were available on the truck so it is easy to get the wrong parts.

I have heard there were some thicker pads available that were used on the 1" rotor so it is possible you have too much thickness for it all to work right.

Re: Front brakes
piston all way in have clearance on inboard pad outboard pad is the one that is giving me trouble, and you could be right about pad, may be little thicker than it should be, or rotor may be little over tolerance. thanks for help any more ideas keep them coming

I would be inclined to take one back to the parts store and compare it to another that is supposed to be right.

Re: Front brakes
I have the same problem on my '77 K20 on the driver side. New pads are tight but turned .004 off the rotor and then the outboard pad is hanging up. May have to put a shim between the rotor and hub.
