89 pickup gave me the day from hell

Was leaving the store and noticed something was leaking from passenger side of my truck crawled under and saw it was the fuel line. I got it to my cousins shop cut out the rotted line spliced it with high pressure injector hose, doubled clamped it. While I had it on the lift figured I would give it a good look over noticed the rear u joints were shot so changed them also. Went out for a test drive everything was good pull back into the garage and rear brake line blew. So for now I have the lines to the rear capped off so I can still get from a-b I want to run all new brake lines but I'm not sure about the rear setup with the preportioning valve. Will it have a big effect if I bypass that setup all together?

If it still worked you will notice the rear brakes will lock up easier .

Growing up in the old days you never had those fancy brake valves so you got used to the brakes being that way.

You can put a manual valve in if you really need one.
