Pulls to the right??
 
Ok...I bought a 1973 Chevy stepside for great price, however the only issue i noticed was that when I apply on the brakes the truck pulls to the right. Any guess what I need to look for..i.e brakes, shocks??? Thanks

brake hose colapsed or sized left side caliber as it only the right front brakes that works

Yep. Likely the left front hose is kaput.

I agree with the caliper. I have seen it several times on other cars.

Two wheel drive or four?

We also had a fundamental problem on the 4wd where the fore/aft drag link of the steering system would physically input a RH steer, due to spring windup during braking. Usually while it's doing that the steering wheel will kick to the left at the same time.

If that's the case there are ways to fix that, too.

An oil soaked left rear brake can make it pull right too. Where's the pics of the truck????????????
