Re: proportioning valve
You would be much better off converting to a more modern dual reservoir master cylinder. If you still need to cut back on some of the rear brakes so stop lock-up problems, there are adjustable proportioning valves to do that.

Re: proportioning valve
if you have stock brake system in your truck it has functioned pretty darn good for goin on 65years why the heck change it ??? maybe u need to do a real good 4wheel brake job by the book (GMservice manual)to get them to work the way they were designed to work

Re: proportioning valve
A dual bowl is a lot more safer then a single bowl is the main reason to change it.With a single bowl when you lose brakes you lose them all which isn't pretty.
