I worked at the ford dealer for many years and this was a big problem in the late 80's early 90's. Usually its a caliper, but not always. Could be alignment or even rear brakes.
Everything start with "Usually but not allways":

Try swapping tires side to side and drive it.

1. If the steering wheel pulls when you step on the brakes, its brakes
If it pulls without the steering wheel moving, its alignment, steering, susp.

2. If its brakes, try swapping front pads and front rotors side to side.
(Sometimes this actually fixes the concern). Check the groove that the pad sits in. Sometimes the pads get seized in there.

3. If it pulls the same way try front calipers, rotors and pads.

hope this helps
