90' F-250 pulls when braking

I have a 1990 F250 that I recently purchased. When I apply the brakes it pulls to the left, what might be wrong?

That could also be caused by a bad tire or alignment.

The tires and alignment are good. I will check the caliper though. Thanks.

I agree about replacing the hose, if you replace the caliper.
