Shoes are worn
Star wheel isn't adjusted to lightly contact shoes to drum
Master cylinder is bad

How much do the shoes extend with the drums off?

Will the parking brake hold when you try to pull out in 1st, making it stall? If not, adjust the shoes star to lightly contact the drums. You should be able to rotate the drum and hear/feel the shoes scraping. I usually adjust them so the drum is just a little hard to turn by hand.

Booster should not effect rear differently from the front. Did you pressure bleed the rears or just pump the pedal? What about the rubber line from frame to rear axle? I have had front hoses collapse internally and not let pressure through.
