Where did you source the brake shoes? I've had issues with aftermarket brake shoes on different trucks doing as you describe. I always advise a customer (especially a new one) that since asbestos has been taken out of brake shoes, the "mix" of the shoe lining can vary greatly, causing a feeling from extremely sensitive to "slippery".

OEM brake shoes have better consistency in their "feeling", but can still vary.
