Grinding and squeezing when applying brakes

Drivers side front squeals when slowing down and right before trucks stops it really grinds and grabs. Replaced brakes but that wasn't it. Could it be a bad hub or wheel bearing? I know someone has a pretty good idea as to where I should start.

Did you check and grease your slide pins and check the calipers for sticking when you did your brakes?

When you say you replaced your brakes, did you check both sides of the rotor? If that was all good, jack up your truck and rotate your tires (fronts I'm assuming) with a sharp ear. You'll know when it you hear it.
