Default brake problems

help....I have a 65 mustang and neither I or any auto mechanics can get the brake to operate properly...the basic problem is it pulls to the left. I have changed pads, fluid, brake cylinders..rotors are in good shape...The mechanics have even checked the temps after application of the brakes i'm at a lost at what I can try next.....any similiar problems or solutions out there.....thanks

Maybe rubber brake lines. Does it pull when you drive it?

Yeah, I would have to ask does it full when you drive it? Other wise might be somthing out of line. Maybe the Chassis is alittle off enough where when you hit the brakes pulls down to one side.

Check your alignment and tire pressures...

I'm assuming you have disk brakes as you said the rotors are good. Are they original or conversions? IIRC, the original calipers were multi piston units. A friend of mine had a 66 fastback with disk brakes with the same problem. It turned out that one of the caliper pistons was sticking.
