    PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!
    First I want to thank everyone that took the time to help me solve this problem, I couldn't have done it without all of you.
    What solved the problem was getting rotors (with races) for a 1970 Mustang vs. the 1969.
    Both model years use the same inner and outer bearings and as such I did not have to re-replace them.
    I did notice immediately that the inner bearing sat further down in the race, the outer bearing I believe did as well since I now have plenty of clearance for the cotter pin through the castle nut.
    So the spindle numbers I have are obviously a 1970 model year that require a 1970 rotor with the corresponding races. RPM pointed this out.....D0ZA
    As I mentioned early on the brake job that was done prior had the incorrect rotor, the shop must have taken something off the pads to allow the rotor to function.
    I hope this helps someone else out in the future.

    Here are the pics I took of the spindles as well as that of the car. Unfortunately it's not BOSS, it's a "tribute".  I knew that when I bought it. The first 2 pics are driver side, the last one is passenger side. Please tell me what these are. Thanks to everyone that has chimed in.
