Here is a picture of my valve, not quite finished with the installation of the lines.
The line to the left goes to the rear brakes. The line to the upper right goes to the right front wheel. The line on the lower right goes to the left front. The line that would go to where the brass plug is on the top of the valve (to the right of the brake failure light switch) goes to the rear port on the master cylinder. The line that goes to the left of the switch goes to the front reservior of the master cylinder.

The whole project has been fun (with an equal measure of frustration thrown in). I've owned the truck for over a quarter century and have a strong sentimental attachment to it.
