The proportion valve is used with disc and drum brakes because of different pressures needed. Your setup requires the same to all 4 wheels.
Can you put one in? yes, should you? no

Probably t he best advice would be to make sure your all the parts of your front suspension and steering is in good condition. If not sure of their condition, replace the king pins and bushings, tie rod ends, etc. Have the truck aligned. Check steering box, etc. Maybe replace large front tires with smaller ones.

steering
And make sure you retain the stock steering wheel or at least one the same diameter - we're talking leverage here. When we fossils were taught to drive "back in the day" we were told you didn't crank on the steering wheel of a stationary vehicle. If your truck 'recenters' the front axle by itself after turning a corner, that's a good indicator things are OK. Manual steering does have its advantages. Good upper body strength maintenance without the gym membership.
