This is the one you will need..... Adjustable Proportioning Blocks With Brake Light Switch
it has two lines in and 3 lines out.
the one from summit has one line in and two lines out, not enough lines going in and out.

I finally got my Prop Valve. This one is a lot bigger then the stock one. Do any of you have photos or ideas of where to put the new one. There are 2 inlets and 3 outlets and one of the outlets is on the bottom of the valve so I can't mount it on the frame like it was before.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

No F Series truck proportioning valve...that I'm aware of, was ever mounted on any crossmember.
1967/79: There were three mounting locations, depending on the application.
1) Below the master cylinder, "floating" above the steering gearbox.
2) On the left (drivers) side outer frame rail, inboard of the left front wheel.
3) On the left (drivers) side outer frame rail, inboard of the left front wheel...but further towards the rear...adjacent to the steering gearbox.

Look in some junk yards there is a bracket that attaches to the steering box to accept the prop valve. Look in 70s cars trucks and vans.
Do not let it float as it will vibrate and cause fatigue at the connections leading to an eventual failure.

Yes, it is 1966 color code JM Rangoon Red/Wimbledon White,
If yours is copper, there were a couple of copper shades available in '66. This chart may be slightly off from the actual color chips, though.

Back side of which crossmember-drivers side?
These trucks have "ladder frames." One right & one left frame rail and...at least 6 crossmembers.
