brake line question

i have a 71 chevy pickup with power front disc brakes, i am slowly rebuilding this thing from the ground up. anyway i can't remember how the brake lines went. i am thinking that the small fitting on the proportioning valve goes to the front brakes and the larger fitting goes to the rear drums. is that correct?
could somebody check their truck to see if thats right or not?
any help would be appreciated. thanks, Tony

Re: brake line question

The small 3/16" line goes to the front brakes and the larger 1/4" line goes to the rear brakes from the prop valve.
