Default New brakes, now tapping badly

Hey everyone. I just replaced the front and rear brakes on my 88 F150 5.8 4x4. That included new drums, shoes, cylinders and all hardware in the rear as well as new calipers, pads, rotors, and wheel bearings in the front. All parts were Duralast from Auto Zone. I put the anti- rattle clips on the bottoms of the inboard pads on the front. Bled system with no problem.

New brakes stop the vehicle straight with no issues.

The problem is that now there is a tapping noise that gets faster with vehicle speed coming from the fronts, I believe on both sides. It stops as soon as I start to push the brake pedal.

I've done pad replacements on other vehicles in the past, but this my first time doing all the other stuff. Any help would really be appreciated!

Thanks

I would think you assembled incorrectly and the pads are shifting around.Hard to tell from here.

Sorry, I had posted it but then didn't see it show up where I thought it would be so posted it again.

I'm not a big forum guy, obviously. Just looking for some help
