Smokin brakes

Just put new pads and rotors on my 76 f250 and I took it for a 3 mile loop and got back and they were both smoking. Don't think that's normal

Pics of old brakes by any chance? Were they not returning?

Did you have oily hands when putting the pads and rotors on?
And did the rotors have any oil on them from the factory to keep them from rusting?

Was just about to say I think i found my problem haha. They came with oil. I gave the a real quick spray of brake clean. So I'm going to pull the tires back off at work tomorrow and clean them better
