an issue with my spindle/rotor/bearing combo

started putting my front suspension together a couple days ago and ran into a snag. i installed my 73+ drop spindle that PB sent me with my dropmember, packed and installed my wheel bearing for a 75 c10; and finished it off with my rotors for a 75 c10. once all snugged up i noticed the castle nut wasn't as threaded as it should be


checked behind the rotor to find a 1/4" or so gap


jumped to the other side of the truck to test fit the parts that weren't already greased up and found a problem. the inner wheel bearing's ID is off, notice the daylight between bearing and spindle.


the bearing's OD is perfect. fits great into rotor


when rotor is installed without inner bearing, only outer, it fits perfect.
i searched and found a thread about big and small bearing and heavy duty rotors but didn't solve my problem. FYI rotor is 1.25" thick

so not only do i need an inner bearing with a smaller ID but it needs to be skinnier so that the rotor will sit further down the spindle. Is the "big" or "small" inner bearing the answer to my problems
