Exclamation f250 possible brake problems

just bought a 90 f250 and the truckfeels like its being held back slightly so i lifted the front end up and spun both front tires and the right was a little stiff could i have a possible caliper hang up,like if im sitting at a light and i have the clutch in it wont roll,anyone have any ideas?

Could be a caliper, could also be a brake hose. For the money, you'd be better off replacing both front calipers, and brake hoses. If you replace one caliper/hose, it will outwork the other side. Release faster, and grab faster, so I like the pairs.
