New guy, brake questions

[Zebra312]

I recently purchased a 69 LWB F100. While going through it, inspecting fr immediate needs, I found that the truck has disc front brakes. Through research, I found that someone has swapped the beams and brakes from a 75+, but retained the manual master cylinder. Further investigation shows when they made the swap, they neglected to add a proportioning valve. The OEM differential valve is still present, but I see nothing else.

I am in process of ordering brake parts....what is my best route for making this right?

It's doubtful you'll find pre-bent brake lines to accomplish this?
I'm not aware of anyone posting part numbers for pre-bent lines here after changing to a proportioning valve. It's really not all that hard to source the hard lines then bend and flare them yourself, (OK other than practicing the double flare a few times before you actually try it on a brake line you've just spent an hour twisting and bending).

When I did the swap I made all my own brake lines. The trick is to get a piece of heavy gauge solid copper wire to use as a template. The copper is easy to bend but will hold its shape so you can experiment with different routings. It took some time but I was very particular with my bending.

My other advice would be to buy a bracket that mounts your proportioning valve right below your master cylinder. I mounted my proportioning valve to the inner fender. It worked out nice enough, but if I had it to do again I would just buy one of the brackets.
