Part No for Brake Combination Valve

Those are the charts the brake engineer created in order to release the parts for production and service. They go back to 1969 and were hand written at that point. To my knowledge this is the only remaining copy.

I found out about it during my short tenure as a brake development engineer for truck. I asked if I could borrow it and it somehow never got returned before we all retired.

I thought about having the GM Heritage Center scan it and make copies but I still refer to it on almost a daily basis.

I have the charts for those 71-72 models but am at the races this weekend. I'll check early next week after I settle back in. (You may have to remind me!)

Thanks Keith, that's interesting and lucky that you have them.

Hoping tomorrow to get at it and try the bleeding tool. Was distracted with other things today.

There are aftermarket valves available on Ebay and Jegs, but the price varies widely. The interchange appears to be most trucks and big cars like 70s and 80s. Are any of the aftermarket ones any good? Mine (on '83 K20) has the light on, I have pushed and pulled the pin but it does not move. I have a new Delco master cylinder to put on at the same time, but I don't really want to open up the system until I have all the parts to fix it on hand.

Does anybody know if those original p/ns got superseded-perhaps with the one I mentioned? Anybody have good luck with aftermarket, and if so which one? This truck has been in my family since new.

Attaching the 71 and 72 brake charts here, and also in the referenced thread.

Success! Funny now reading the shop manual and following the bleed procedure worked - as you suggested. I was able to get a clamp on the front to stop the pin from coming out and that was it. I’ve now been able to bleed the front brakes and all is well. Thank you all for your assistance!
