Brakes pulling

Help, I just trailered my 73 from Idaho to its new home in Vegas. Driving in town now the EB pulls hard right under heavy braking. This never occurred prior to its 900 mile journey on a U-Haul transport. I had to air down the front 33” BFG's to get the straps on but reinflated them to 32psi. Have power assist drums all the way around. Never an issue and don't have the coin to go to front discs. Just want it to stop straight again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

if its pulling right when braking the right side brakes are tighter on the right side and looser on the left side. if you drive it and apply just the parking brake while holding the release handle all the way back does it still pull right as the rear brakes apply? if so I would attack the rear brakes first if not I would attack the front brakes first. I would also look for bad bushings on the front strut arms and the rear spring bushings. might as well check the rear U-bolts while your at it. check your tire pressures too all the way around.
