If one wheel is skidding, it could be a leaky wheel cylinder, which you should address ASAP!

When it comes to brakes on a newly purchased old ride, go through all 4 wheels and make it yours! I never trust other people's brake work when it comes to an old vehicle that someone else may have screwed up. I will usually do all 4 wheel cylinders and shoes/pads and bleed the crap out of it, flushing out all the old fluid. Do the master cylinder if there's any doubt as to whether it's good or not. At least you know it's your work and what's been done at that point.
