Proportioning Valve differences - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need a new prop valve for my '72 K10 (disc/drum). Found @ LMC, for $180: http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/CB/full.aspx?Page=166

And also at GMC Paul's, for $80: http://gmcpauls.com/Brakes&Steering.htm (second line)

Not wanting to forgo the $100 price difference, and would also prefer to give GMC Pauls the business. But these look different, and the LMC one looks stock. Don't care about the looks - just want to confirm with someone who might know better than I that the GMC Paul's one is a direct-replacement for stock. Does it look different just because it's a newly-made replacement part, or is something different that I'm missing? Not tons of info on GMCP's site. Thanks! The truck is inching closer to completion...

The lower price one is fine.

I just bought one from ECE, it was just over $100 and is identical to my existing one.

You can buy from Pirate Jack on Ebay for $65.00 with free shipping. Pirate Jack is the retail arm of MBM wholsale which is one of the larger suppliers of those valves.
