Weak Brake Pedal

I am having trouble with the brakes on my brother's 1969 GMC C15. The truck stops but the brake pedal soft and under hard braking the wheels don't lock up. I have replaced the master cylinder and the rear left wheel cylinder (busted bleeder valve). I also swapped out the portioning valve with an old one I had lying around. The rear shoes and drums looked good. I believe the rear brakes are not getting the correct amount of pressure. When I bled the brakes the front cylinders shot out a stream of fluid but the rear cylinders only dribbled out. Is there something that could be causing this?
