Question Did they put power boosters on drum brakes?

My 68 11" drum brakes are the worst thing ever. I just got done buying new shoes, wheel cylinders, turning the drums, installing new rubber lines and the truck still takes a ridiculous amount of effort to stop.

It's not like I race it or go fast, I just want a basic driver to go to a cruise in or the hardware store, but it won't stop very fast as is.

I don't have the bread to blow on a whole disc setup, that's why I rebuilt the standard drums. Would a booster help out at all?
