Default Defective Brake Pads 1978 K5

OReilly/ Brake Best MKD52 AND Raybestos RC4071/ 4072 DO NOT FIT, PADS TOO THICK, Raybestos caliper set ( caliper and pads) can not be installed on a correct brake rotor ( original GM rotors, one with no significant wear), theres about a negative 060(?) inch interference. The Brake Best pads drag and rub unless the rotor is significantly worn.

The rotor with almost no wear is 1.300 inch thick. The BB pads were installed on rebuilt original Delco calipers.
