I used the front lines to the proportioning valve from the m/c (they run down along the driver's inner fender), mounting the prop. valve on the frame near the bottom of the radiator like it was on the 83 it came from; then connect the prop. valve with another line to the rear line along the passenger frame rail right around the firewall, - or another complete line from prop. valve to pass. rear brake. If you look at a complete early 80s truck you can see the layout.
