88 gmc rear brakes

[kram]

hey guys.
i got a 88 gmc v2500 14b corporate.
blew a brake line between the dohicky on the frame to the rubber line
to the axle.i will start collecting rear disc parts after the edelbrock tes
headers.but for now can i bypass the (hight valve?)thingamabob?
the line nut in is 7/16 out is 9/16 and i think 3/8 at the hose.
i bent the brackets closer due to 3" blocks.
i can't find the hose in tmc or a mention in the forums.
thanks for any help

Yeah you can bypass that. Might get some interesting braking characteristics, but nothing you shouldn't be able to handle.

Can't help with the how, just that it's a proportioning valve for the rear that works based on how much weight the truck is carrying.

thanks

i bought a 1/4 line.will have to salvage the large fitting from the old line.
should work till the 4wdb conv.there is a good thread started for this.
since i bent the brakets closer maby i will get a little better braking.
catch ya later.
