Yes, you could put an adjustable proportioning valve in the line to the rear brakes to keep them from locking up. The valve would restrict the amount of pressure to the rear brakes, thus giving you a better braking balance front to rear. I use a Wilwood in my car.

Next time that happens, don't ease off when the rears lock up, slam the pedal harder and the fronts will lock up too. You'll stop quicker and straighter.
The best fix would be bigger front brakes. Get some front drum brakes from a '70-'72 pickup, they're wider.
