you could have a front caliper hanging or something may have come loose in your rear drumms like a spring, you could pull the rear drums and take a look, does it pull at all to one side? look at your front pads and see if one side is worn more then the other.

I had this problem but only in reverse. It turned out to be the lower control arm bushing sleeve seperated from the bushing itself. The one at the frame rail where the caster adjustment is done.

The other thing I've seen is with the front pads, you'll notice a notch burred out from where they sit on the knuckle. The tab on the pad could be getting caught. I normally file them down just to smooth them out and then put a small amount of brake lubricant on them for smoother movement. Good luck!
