Proportion valve

I've been looking all over for a proportion valve for my 1979 F250, and can't find anything. Do parts stores not sell these? If not, then what do you all suggest as an alternative?

I always suggest an aftermarket proportioning valve. Put it on the rear break line, and plumb the front brakes directly to the master cylinder. It's much cleaner, no pressure loss to front brakes, and the rear is now adjustable.

There are plenty of them on Ebay.
