severe Nose driving while braking. *brakes*

87 truck. disk front/drum rear. stock.

truck has severe nosedive/sensitive brakes. rears feel like they are not engaging and its sending most of the pressure to the front. Ive bled them properly (right rear,left rear,right front,left front).

Truck sat for 15 years. Has new Master,calipers,pads,drums cleaned and adjusted. At first,either the front or rear tire would lock upon braking. after bleeding a ton of nasty fluid (which probably had water) they no longer lock up. Now just hard braking.

Im guessing the proportioning/metering valve is bad. Can you still get factory valves aftermarket? I might buy a aftermarket,but i really dont want to build new lines. thanks a bunch.
