The fact that those many calipers have been tried and still has poor braking says it all, in my mind. If it was the calipers, any one of them should have corrected it.....or at least made it better. Maybe it isn't vacuum related as I suspect, however I doubt that it it is caliper related. I still can't imagine any vehicle with bad calipers in the back NOT locking the front brakes when they are applied hard, IF all other parts of the system work correctly. Once again it's simple physics..if on end isn't working and you apply more pressure, the end that is working would lock up. You haven't mentioned any time when you locked up the front brakes, that alone is suspect.
