Brakes lock up.

1969 GMC 350

The more I use the brakes, the more they start to drag than will lock up.
Than I have to let the truck sit for awhile and than the brakes will release.
The quickest way to release the brakes is to turn a screw on one of the brakes lines at the proportioning valve and a hissing sound happens and the brakes are good to go.
Now if I drive the truck on the freeway, because we don't use brakes too much on the freeway, I can drive the truck all day long. If I hit stop and go traffic, I'm screwed.
Doesn't seem to have any air in the lines.
Brake fluid is full.
I'm still using drums on all 4 corners.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
