I would say that is incorrect.

Hey buddy, I had the same issue on my '65 when I installed the CPP kit. Had to drill a hole in the pedal arm 1" lower, and it worked perfect.

I'll keep an eye out for your truck in my travels!

To clarify my post above, it is correct that pretty much all brake systems initially apply pressure first to the rears, but it's NOT correct that this means you don't have a travel issue.
