Ok that pretty well eliminates the MC and booster from causing the brakes to lock up unless you have the wrong rod between the booster and the piston in the mc.

1. Did you rebuild/replace the wheel cylinders?
2. Are the shoes on in the correct position?
3. Are all of the springs and hardware on the shoes in good condition and in the correct position?
4. Are the shoes and drums clean and free of grease and or rust?
5. are the brake lines free of kinks that may restrict the flow of fluid "back" to the mc?
