'88 F150 Brake problem?

I just bought this '88 302 4 speed 2x4. I'm having a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. After driving for awhile let's say I stop at a store. After coming out the store, I'll get in start up the truck and it won't want to move forward. It seems the brakes have locked up? Because the rear wheel will start spinning out, but the truck stays still. When putting in reverse the truck will move with no problem. It will stay "stuck" for a bit, but will eventually let up and I can drive the truck no problem again. I'm hoping whatever is causing it, it won't happen while the trucks on the highway. Please HELP!

ya that sounds like a problem with the drums obviously the one that isnt spinning ya id replace the flex lines and have look at the rear brakes to see if there is a shoe separated.
