rear brake lines for conversion?

I have a donor truck, but I was wondering. Do I need to take the steel brake lines from the donor also? For those that have done this conversion, how are you mounting the proportioning valve?

You will need to adapt the line for the porp valve, but not replace it unless you just want to. I reused the existing in mine.

So I would need to put the proportioning valve where the old one was on the frame while adapting the rear steal brake line to it. Before I jump into it, how did you adapt yours? Maybe a pic, thanks for the help.

Drum & drum do not have a porp. valve only disc & drum, because of different delivery pressures. I just added a short piece of off the rack line in to make it work.
