Pulling to the right when braking.

Pulling to the right when braking.
We put new brakes and suspension on our 80' L82 but I think a few of the calipers on the right side have been rebuilt and not replaced totally. Maybe this would have something to do with it? Well, when we are driving at decent speeds and hit the brakes hard the car pulls to the right bad. We even took it to chevy and they couldnt figure it out. They said it may have something to do with the frame...I hope not. Brakes have been bled and there is plenty of pedal. So, any insights would be much appreciated.

Rebuilt shouldn't make a difference if they are rebuilt correctly. This could be due to a multitude of things, possibly suspension or brakes. Did you do the brakes yourself? Did you you change the flexible lines? Did you bleed the brakes completely? Did you have the car aligned after the suspension work?
Good rule of thumb though - Chevy dealers know little about C-3 brakes or C-3's in general. If you are going to take it to someone, take it to a Vette shop.
Give us some more information about the work you did or had done.

If it wasn't pulling before the brake job, then it's something you did. Probably some contamination on the brake pads or a pinched hose. I suppose you did put the same pads on the axle sets, right?
