I wouldn't think so. Follow your brake lines down. There should be a junction block. That should be it. I think mine has Nibco cast on it, but don't quote me on it.

Single line travels to rear then splits at diff, single line for front travels to firewall then splits (see pic) two lines travel to brake calipers. No bias valves any where. Image :?

If you have a single line to a splitter from each reservoir then I'm at a loss.

sorry dont mean to hijack the post, but you have a CLEAN truck, or so it looks that way in the pics! anyway can you put a valve in the rear brake line to shut it off when needed to do burnouts? it would be a cheap line lock!

I dont recomend a valve in the brake line, will you remember to turn it on again after a burnout? Invest in a electronic solenoid line locker, wire to one of those big red switches that light up when switched on.

I'm betting you don't have one. Probably Australian model differences, like RH drive, diesel available in 1980 4x4, etc.
Just curious--where does it get the vacuum for your brake booster? A belt driven vacuum pump, or electric one? Diesels engines develope no vacuum normaly. Looks like a very clean, well cared for truck.

I think it would be safe to say your truck doesn't have a external bias valve for the brakes,it's built into the master cylinder.You notice that your reservoirs are different sizes for front and rear. (usually front brakes have bigger)

Im going to agree with you Mad Dog, i tore down a spare to see what was going on inside. Inside i found two plungers separated in the middle with a spring, looks as tho when you brake, the first plunger moves then when spring is compressed second plunger moves. Applies more fluid to the front than the rear.
