disc conversion

I have a 72 E-300 van, I'm using the guidelines from the tech article but have a few questions.I have the spindles and the dual piston calipers, I realize I have to run a single line to the rear brakes, are the porportional valves pretty much the same, have one off an 83 van and all the brake line's up front...(nice and clean)Just wondering about the valve, they all work the same right?
Thanks Dave

Dave- the proportioning valves have the same function in every truck. If the valve you are planning to use is from a truck with disc front and drum rear, and that is where you will end up on your van, you have the right idea. DF
