Pulling to the right

Hey guys, been a while. I am having problems with my 70 f-100 pulling to the right when I hit the breaks. It has done this for a year or two, but since I didn't drive her much at that time I didn't worry too much about it. I recently had the drums turned and installed new shoes all around and the two front wheel cylinders and breaklines as well. Any time I try to hit the breaks at any speed she immediately veers hard right. If I lightly tap the breaks and then hit them firmly she stops fine.

What do I need to do to straighten this out? I also added a power booster to my truck about 6 months ago.

Did it change when the booster was installed? Hit the brakes on gravel and see which wheel slides.

No it was pulling right when I decided to do the break upgrade. As I was changing shoes I found that the right front wheel cylinder had a broken seal on the left side. I changed both front wheel cylinders but the problem remained exactly the same, even with all new front break parts and a new booster/master cylinder combo.

I will try the gravel this weekend.
