Sounds like the calipers weren't sliding on the pins. Do they easily slide back and forth with the brake released and the piston pushed back? The pins need to be straight and also slide through the bushings. If they bind anywhere you'll get a drag.

Very true!
I just fixed a slight hangup in my '85 grand Wagoneer's just by tapping the caliper and pulling the pins and relubing. (GM calipers but basically the same design) And those were new disks and 'rebuilt' calipers put on this year.
