spdbrake, I learned a long time ago never to assume anyone knows anything about anything. I appreciate the input, you never know what one thing might trigger a memory lost to time.

You nailed it though. I did not verify the pistons are fully retracted. I assumed they were as they have never been used, but we know how that works. I'll double-check that.

The SSBC kit does show promise. It lists a 10 1/2" rotor, while I am dealing with 10" ones, but that is close enough for the same caliper to be used. I'll look into that one. THANK YOU! Keeping my fingers crossed. I did note those pads look a lot like the Thunderbird pads I just tried.

By the way, I did research the numbers on the castings and came up with a blank.
