Pulling to the left

I own a '99 3/4 ton 7.3. After driving the truck around town or towing my truck starts pulling to the left while braking. The harder I brake the sharper the pull to the left. When I first start driving the truck it does not pull to the left but as the brakes get warm it seems to get get worse. I did replace both sets of pads on the front as well as the left caliper. What is the deal? Should I have replaced both calipers?

My vote is it is not the left caliper but the right caliper not applying pressure so I'd replace right side.
