I have a 1951 GMC 1/2 ton and I was having the same problem of pulling to
the right under hard braking. It completely went away however after I
converted to disk brakes on the front. I used the booster from a Chev s-10
(1987 vintage?) and I continued to use the rear axle with drum brakes (from
a '60's GMC truck).
I feel a lot safer with the disk brakes on the front and the truck is much
more fun to drive. This is quite an easy conversion and the kits don't cost
that much. Before going to the IFS you might want to put some calipers on
the ends of that beam axle!
