1982 Pickup Rear Proportioning Valve
Alright so I have an 82' Pickup and my load sensing proportioning valve is basically nothing but a pile of rust, and no longer works. Can you just run a brake line straight from the master cylinder for the rear brakes? Or will any proportioning valve work? I really don't need the load sensing since I'll never have anything in the bed.

I bypassed mine and have had no issues.. I tried a proportioning valve, it didn't make any difference that I could feel, so I took it off. I believe the truck stops better without either one.

You need some sort of proportioning valve to regulate brake pressure to the rear or else you'd lock them up and not have a happy ending. Seeing as how your valve no longer works you can buy a Manual proportioning valve to replace your busted one. You can get one from Willwood i think and on ebay as well. Here's a link to a thread about eliminating the LSPV.

If you want to replace it, a lot of people have used this valve I believe:

I currently do not run one and I can skid my 33" tires very easy.

I think I'm just going to bypass it and run a staright like to the rear brakes, just like alot of you have. I'll be running 33" mickey Thompson baja claws which are a pretty heavy tire, so I don think ill be able to skid them very easily

The valve in question increase the fluid pressure to compensate for heavier loads..... Most of us don't carry heavy loads in our trucks..

I understand this , but I'm not quite sure YOU do .. the stock prop. valve , like an adjustable valve also regulates a typical 60/40 pressure , which in a "lock up" situation is in fact safer then eliminating the valve all together . on "our" trucks , the additional internal spring and piston is what veries the additional fluid to the rear brakes when "we" have a load in the back , making the toyota valve a "self adjusting" SAFTY feature . even if you dont carry a load in your truck , you still need the differential fluid pressure to make the system work correctly .
just kuz U did it and other people do it ... dosnt make it right !!
again , to each there own

I had a bit of an issue with my rear pro portioning valve on my 84. My master was shot so I went fir the dual diaphragm booster and taco master cylinder. Summit racing sells their brand of adjustable proportioning valve way cheaper, but it's a rebranded wildwood valve. With two fittings I mounted it right next to the master cylinder and bypassed the stock rear lspv. It worked flawlessly but took a bit to get it dialed in. In total, it cost me around $250 for the valve, master cylinder, booster (used from junkyard), and fittings. After that it was an easy upgrade to v6 calipers and cruiser rotors and disc rear.
