My bet would be that you have the wrong proportioning valve on your brake system and it's putting to much pressure to the rear brakes, and that's whats locking them up. Go to a salvage yard and for little or nothing you can pick one up and swap it out. Yes you can use that other truck and I don't know that it will solve your lock-up problem but it sure will stop better.
