Wheel pull when brakes applied

1996 F350 PSD 7.3
Front Dana 60 mono beam
4 x 4

Last week I broke my front right caliper. I replaced the caliper, rotor and pads. Now, when I apply the brakes I pull to the left. I took the truck into my repair shop and let them figure it out. They were unable to repair the truck. They replace the master cylinder, all brake lines, calipers on both sides, brake pads, bearings on both wheels, vehicle alignment, tire balancing and tire rotation. The tires are three months old. Prior to last week i did not have any problems braking or steering. Driving at 60kmh the truck goes straight until i gently brake, it will slightly pull left.

What am I missing

Thanks

Theyve replaced the pads so their probably not contaminated. And the side with the old caliper pulls? My guess is new caliper sticking or old caliper larger bore.

In diagnosing this problem, the technician has tried different new calipers and new pads. Switching the rotors from side to side and rotating the tires side to side and front to rear. So far nothing has corrected this problem.

Blows my theory
Same thing when you apply brakes firmly?

We are in general diesel, perhaps we should open this in the brake thread!
