Just got a 72 GT--drives well but starting to pull to left when using brakes. Any advice where to start? Have to admit I am a female so speak in plain English as I learn about what you all advise. Thanks,
Jo

souinds to me like it could be air in the brake lines or it might need a caliper.

First and foremost replace the rubber brake lines, they are notorious to get swelled inside and cause alot of grief. On my 72 I found that 2 were bad and it would stop but not well. OGTS sells them and there is also an option of stainless braided ones from Paragon.

My gt pulled to the left and I ended up having 3 collapsed rubber lines and one seized caliper.

Mine also pulled to the left. It was a series of things...bad right wheel cylinder, bad right caliper and finally....had to rebuild the MC. Now it is just fine.

if it pulls to the left when you brake then look to the right front caliper not doing its job ,(when it pulls its because only 1 side works and that wheel does all the work so it turns in to it )
bleeding it might fix it for now but it is better to take the pads out and work the pistons in and out a few times to clean the pistons + you can see if it the pistons are all cruddy and need new ones
to get the pads out use a hammer and punch to drift the 2 holding pins from the top of the caliper then use a big flat blade screwdriver to push the pads back into the caliper and lift the pads out ,take care not to damage the friction lining when you push them back
