1969 F250 Brakes confused

Post by Fordinblue20 »

Hello everyone I’m having trouble installing the master cylinder and brake pressure differential valve :cuss:
My truck is drum brakes all the way around.. and I can’t seem to get the valve in there.

Is the proportioning valve on the frame rail like the F-350's?

Yes it is. Sits right behind the steering box. The brake lines won’t bend Enough to fit and I’m also missing the brake light switch that goes on the valve.

They'll fit, just learn to bend them with your fingertips. Takes a while to learn but you'll figure it out.

Thank you! finally got it to fit. My only problem now is I don't have the bolts to mount the master cylinder to the firewall. I do not know the size.

Like most things in life it'll be the ones that fit. Most likely 5/16" or 3/8". Measure the thickness of the master cylinder flange and add 2x the diameter of the bolt to the length for the correct one.
