Need help finding a part
Would anyone know where to find a Brake Pressure Differential Valve (proportioning valve) for a 1967 Ford F100 Ranger 1/2 ton pickup? Its a 352 engine, with drum brakes all wheels. We have driven it since 1968 and would hate to give up on it now.

With 4-wheel drums, it's known as a proportioning block. I don't recall ever seeing an OEM replacement. Is your project a spot-on restoration???
Otherwise, I suggest simply installing an adjustable prop valve from Wilwood or a house branded version from Speedway Motors.

^ OP located in AZ
Assuming your truck is 2WD: C7TZ-2B257-E = 1967 F100/250 2WD & F350 / Obsolete ~ ONE available NOS
NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has ONE = 972-937-2201.
If just the POS plastic low brake fluid warning lamp switch (C7AZ-2B264-A) is defective, it was available by itself, but it's also 1967 ONLY.

Thanks for the great ideas
To Hio Silver.... No, it is not a restoration. It has been our transportation since 1968. We are the 2nd owner. It pulls left on a soft brake, goes straight on a hard brake. Our mechanic says it is the proportioning valve. Hope he is correct.

Thank you

You're right about the warning light, but on our truck that light has been out for a long time. I crawled under the truck and looked at that valve and the light connection has been broken for quite a while, it looks like. Our differential valve (proportional valve) looks like it has two lines coming down from the master cylinder, two lines going to the back and only one line going to the front out of the top.
How about a plain old 1967 F100 352 that is not a 4x4

I have one off of my 67 that I won't be needing after converting to 4 wheel discs.
Lmk and I'll mail it out to you.

Look at the parts catalog applications for the other 1967 valves.

4 wheel drum brakes do not have a proportioning valve. They have a distribution block. Two different animals. The distribution block is located inside the left frame rail in the vicinity of the master cylinder. Just follow the brake lines from the MC and they'll lead you right to it.
