Brake question
New to the forum, I have a 1974 f250 highboy that had drum brakes front and back, I swapped the front end out for disc brake front end out of a 1976. My question is do I need to get a different master cylinder and proportioning valve?
The disc brake front end came out of a 1976 f250 4x4 with a auto trans, my 74 has a 4 speed

The truck is no longer available to get parts from anymore,my truck has a duel reservoir mc , a big one and a small one, so can I just buy a mc and proportioning valve for a 76 and install on my truck?

Yes buy a 76 MC and one of the generic disc/drum brass proportioning valves carried by LMC, Mac’s NPD etc..
You will need to make or buy some additional brake lines and may run into some fuss with the booster—piston rod length, travel, etc…?
Also, you will need delete existing differential valve.
