Sounds like your rear drums are out of adjustment, or you still have air in your rear lines. If they worked fine before the new master and booster, than it is certainly air in the lines. Sometimes they can be quite troublesome to bleed, but be patient. It will work. Start with the one furthest from the master, and work your way to the closest one. Park the truck at a slight angle to make the fluid flow easier downhill, towards your rear drums.

X2, lack of pressure will cause the proportioning valve to move. Make sure you have all the air out of the master cylinder/lines.
