D4TZ-2B257-A .. Brake Pressure Differential Valve-Use with disc brakes / Marked: D4TA-2B328-A1A or A2A or D5TA-2B328-C1A or C2A / Obsolete

1974/79 F250 2WD with 6900, 7500 & 8100 lbs. GVWR // 1974/78 F350 // 1979 F350 2WD // 1975/79 E250/350.

If your F250 has 4WD, it uses the same valve as 1975/79 F100/150, E100/150 & 1978/79 Bronco.

Another option is to get a Wilwood universal valve kit.

Sorry guys It is a 4x4 and thanks for you answers, I was looking at my truck for the comparison but I have a 60 up front with what appears to have larger brakes in it than than his 44. Is that correct? Caliper looks much larger. Number Dummy a special thanks to you your knowledge and resources are unmatched! I used to have a good friend much like you but alas we lost him to a brain aneurysm a few years ago. RIP Mick Anderson.

The standard inverted flare nut size for 3/16" tubing is 3/8"-24. You can get these individually from any parts store. Ford also used specialty sized 7/16"-24, 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 inverted flare nuts for 3/16" diameter tubing. You can get these specialty sized flare nuts brand new from Classic Tube.

1. 7/16"-24 flare nut. Tube Nut 7/16-24 - SAE - Red

2. 1/2"-20 flare nut. Search results for: 'St8007'

3. 9/16"-18 flare nut. Search results for: 'st8010'

All 1976/79 F250 4WD's and 1979 F350 4WD's have dual piston caliper disc brakes.

D5TZ-2B257-B .. Brake Pressure Differential Valve / Marked: D5TA-2B524-FA or FB / Obsolete

1975/79 F100/150 2WD/4WD / 1975/79 F250 2WD with single piston caliper disc brakes / 1975/79 E100/150 / 1976/79 F250 4WD & Bronco / 1979 F350 4WD

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

You will find that its one valve that many distributors place their name on, but for the most part, they are identical for your make and model. Price is all over the map, but its the same piece...
