About a year ago, one of the front calipers went bad...ever since then it has pulled hard to the left.

This is like pulling teeth... WHICH one?

A mechanic told me that calipers should be replaced in pairs.

Probably not a Ford mechanic because Ford does NOT make that recommendation. Ford says to only replace damaged/failed/worn-out & maintenance parts. Calipers are NOT among the parts Ford recommends replacing as a set.

Since we are pushing 200K on the vehicle I am just going to replace "everything" in the front brakes ...

Replacing "everything in the front brakes" is NOT on the maintenance schedule for a reason: it's not necessary, or good practice. By that logic, you should replace everything on the TRUCK (IOW: the whole truck) every few years. If you have that kind of money, that's fine. If not, don't do it now - even if you limit yourself to the front brakes. It's still a waste of money to throw away working usable brake parts. And you're liable to introduce new problems with those new unnecessary parts.

I am also going to grease the slide pins on the rear brakes also.

You should clean and lubricate EVERYTHING in the entire brake system; that means all 4 wheels, and the pedal linkages (including the e-brake).

For the pedals, use a flowable grease, like a chain lube. Then read the owner's manual & catch up on all the other recommended maintenance.
