Re: porp valve question
I know this doesn't fully answer your question, but this diagram answered a lot of mine when I was rebuilding my brakes. Maybe it will help you some.

Re: porp valve question
Our trucks use a combination proportioning valve that has a piston which can slide front or back depending if one of the brake lines or wheel cylinders fail. To properly bleed the brakes, this piston needs to be held stationary. These valves are available from most auto parts stores. LMC price is a rip-off. Custom brake dealers for street rods have them in brass for about $65.--Do some searching before buying. Be sure to bench bleed the mastercylinder before installing. Huck
