After some reasearch I believe this unit is a Bendix Hydrovac or Midland Hy-Power. Would pumping the brakes exhaust the vacuum before it can recover and cause this problem? Maybe a vacuum resivoir would help. Also read that the brakes should still kina work even if the booster has lost vacuum as it is used just as an assist.
An individual that has worked on the truck brakes in the past, told me the adjusters are worn out and he can't get the new shoes close enough to the drums. I believe this would cause the need for pumping but not the lockup in the pedal.
