Doubtful that china was making brakes for fords circa '75, but it does look as if they are printing era appropriate packaging.

Not sure I understand where the pads are sticking but I'll throw in a few ideas. Is there an inside and an outside pad? Could the paint be thick enough to interfere? If both of those are not issues, it's not hard to imagine that the casting of the calipers and the stamping of the pad backing plates might have morphed over time enough to interfere with each other. So possibly a little filing?
Evening LT7A

The printing, along with typical “Chinglish” is always amusing.


All solved with a bit of filing in the vice.

The backing plates are guillotined in a factory, and that minimal untidiness on the cut made one plate microspically thicker than it needed to be.

Once filled back, easy fit.
