The wooshing sure does sound like a bad booster.. But, as the others said, you should have a stiff pedal.
HOWEVER.. on my dorF, it had a leaking booster for a long time, and it was strange.. sometimes, it would be really stiff, sometimes it would do like yours and go nearly to the floor, like you mentioned. I ended up getting a booster/master cylinder combo from NAPA (the booster was 115, or with the master cylinder it was 125.. Kinda a no brainer for me)
I cannot say however, that it was my problem in it's entirety, as I also put new rear shoes, drums, lines, wheel cylinders, spring and adjuster kits, etc. as one side was quite worn and I had warped drums as well.
I do, as the others, recommend checking lines for leaks (or the master cylinder to see if you appear to be "losing" fluid), and look at your calipers and make sure they are adjusting accordingly, and check the rear brake adjustment.. Just because it has "self adjusting" does not mean at all that it is in fact adjusting like it should.
GM trucks are kinda known for calipers sticking.. I've owned a few, and had the problem with every one, new and used.
