It shouldn't take that much effort to stop your truck, so yes, something is wrong...unless you're 4'-10" tall and weigh 83 pounds, like one of my ex-girlfriends. Going to power brakes alone likely won't cure the problem. Flex lines have been mentioned. Replacing those would be a good start, but don't replace the front flex hoses until you've decided on disc brakes (or not). I personally favor front disc brakes and several years ago when a wheel cylinder failed on my truck, that's the way I went. Given that the front suspension parts were original, that was a no-brainer. I rebuilt the front suspension while I was at it.
