Another Brake line question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm running all new brake lines on my 67 c10. I have front disc and rear drums on the truck. I know from the factory it had 1/4" lines going to the drums and I'm supposed to run 3/16" lines to the discs. well I've already started running lines to the drums and I used 3/16" line. I didn't realize I was running the wrong size line until it was to late. Am I gonna run into problems using 3/16" line for the whole system? Should it even matter if I'm using a proportioning valve?
