What year truck?
Do you still have the original-style brakes for that year?
How did you adjust the rear brake shoes (what were the steps in your procedure)?
Did you adjust them as described in the Shop Manual (if you have original-style brakes)?
What is "one turn"? One click, or one full rotation of the adjuster?
