truck pulls to left when braking
when I put my foot on the brake pedal my truck pulls to the left.This truck is an 88 f 350 4x4..both front calipers are new but I notice that the front passenger side rotor is pitted pretty bad would that have anything to do with it?

If you rotors are groved or pitted I would start there. Did you correctly bleed the brake system?

And if it is properly bled, are your brake hoses in good condition? A bad hose at the wheel would cause it to pull to one side.

Also if your left rear brake is grabbing that will cause the truck to pull to the left as well.

A sticking piston or caliper slide pins can be the problem too.
