differential pressure valve?
I have on my truck a DP valve which I have id to have come from a 75-79 f150. It has been inactivee for a number of years and open to the air. Now that I am putting the brake system back in operation I find the valve will let no fluid to the rear wheels and I suspect the valve is rusted inside and I think this is a ball on a spring which has frozen in place, But I am just guessing. Is this correct? and Can I disassemble it and free up the inner works or just bite the bullet and buy another.? Thanks

What? 
If this is around a 1980 that would be to early for anti-lock brakes wouldn’t, and if so they would have to work with the front brakes and a controller? So what is this thing? I think (?) it might be a superficial item or should that read a sacrificial item.

The valve is there because the front end has been replaced with a torsion bar (labaron) frontend which has disc brakes on the front and drums on the rear, thus the need for the Differential valve.

If the valve is not adjustabe it would be a 10PSI residual valve there should also be one for the front at 2PSI.
The adjustable valve is optional and is a Bias or proportional valve.
It's brakes - which means lives - which = replacement.
