1972 f250 brake problem

How's it going I have a 1972 f250 with a 390 and disk brakes in the front. I'm having issues with the front brakes it leaking from the nipple thing on the distribution block or proportioning valve not sure exactly what it is maybe someone can help me figure it out or where I can get a new one or a rebuild kit of some sort heres a pic of it hopefully it helps

You'll probably want to ask this in the '67-'72 Bumpside forum. I don't think any '73-'79s came with anything like that.

The nipple looks like the 'handle' for one of those valves you have to open, in order to be able to bleed the fronts. Our dentsides do have that feature, but it's incorporated into one combination valve.

The OP has a 1972 F250, so he posted in the wrong forum, but...
