I looked online and only found them at junkyard sites., I wonder if a mustang one would work? those are easy to find, and some are adjustable

Every year of mustang has available adjustable proportioning valves. Not sure if it would work on the trucks or not, not sure if the trucks use a bigger one or what. I would assume as long as it is the same size fittings it should work.

The proportioning valve is calibrated to the weight and style vehicle. If you are going to do any swapping, try to stick with a truck proportioning valve.

It should, even if you have to change the fittings on the end of your lines. It might not work properly but the brake bias should be close enough. I have mine bypassed (rear brakes werent working)
