Oh the HORROR of it ! Well testing went on today with a change to a 1" bore Master Cyl. from the 1.125 cyl. that helped but did not stop the wheels. I attempted to swap calipers front to rear but there just wasn't enough fittings in the shop to make that happen. One thing did happen today was that the pads are staying right against the rotor after the e-brake is released, before they moved off .015 to .020". don't know what changed there. I bought a pressure gauge tonight on the way home and will see what kind of pressure is at the back end tomorrow .
I talked to Speedway Tech guy about the brakes and he had no idea if the calipers were new or rebuilt. He also had no idea of what the trouble was. He did tell I should have 900 to 1000 PSI at the caliper.
My axles don't move in or out at all. the bearing is pressed on to the axle and then retained via a plate and 4 3/8" bolts into the axle housing. Winters use's Ford Big Bearing style housing ends on this rear.
My calipers float on the pin/bolts with the bushings and the rubber o-rings. There's no issue with the calipers centering on the rotor.

Thanks for all the inputs, we'll figure this out soon er or later.
