I would NOT get larger wheel cylinders. That truck, as well as all vehicles, was designed to properly stop the vehicle at GVW. If it is not you must find the deficiency. The rear brakes are not automatically adjusted through the e-brake. That is common with leading/trailing designs. Your servo action brakes were designed to self adjust by backing up and applying the brake. If it stops well when cold, but not hot it is either a fade issue which gets worse the hotter they get or the wrong pads/shoes were installed. Lining material significantly affects brake performance. You should have semi metallics on that truck. If it doesn't stop well cold it could be as simple as a rear brake adjustment. On a truck of that year I would check the starwheels for being locked up. Remember the starwheels are side specific. Put them in backwards and they self adjust IN. Also make sure the secondary shoe (longer frictional surface) is in the rear on both sides. Hope this helps.
