Endless brake issues

Hello everyone. I have a 1997 Ford F150 4.6 V8 Styleside 2wd 139" wheelbase pickup. Problem I'm having is I have a vibration in the front end at 40 mph and a low, intermittent humming noise as well. I have replaced the following parts, they are brand new: front rotors, calipers/brackets/pins, pads, bearings (both sides), rear drum shoes (both sides) and new hardware, master cylinder, parking brake cable (passenger rear), all 4 tires, which are brand new, and the tie rod ends on both sides as well. The truck shakes bad when I brake, no vibration in pedal nor does the steering wheel shake. It pulls to the left while driving as well. This has me baffled and frustrated. Also, any help with a parking brake cable replacement diagram and the correct length of the cables for it is extremely helpful and a diagnosis or what to check and how to check for the problems is appreciated!

You really need to post this in the 1997 - 2003 F150 forum, and not here in the Modular Engine forum. If you go back to the forum index page, you will find the index of all forums here at FTE.
