Thanks for your compliments. I'm going to put the cost around $6K. It was the brake kit plus shipping that drove up the cost. However, it took the guess work out of finding the right parts. I'm hoping my monetary sacrifice and the posting of part numbers will help others keep their costs down if...
All tubing and fittings connected to the front ports of both the primary and secondary driver's side tanks were removed. This also included the double check valve as the new dash control module has an integral double check that performs the same function.
Here are the before VVV pics...

I preassemble all fittings to the SR-7 valve and installed a length of tubing on the balance port which will connect up to the existing balance fitting on the R-12 relay. The first thing I did on the truck was pull a new length of 3/8" tubing that would connect the push-pull spring brake valve...

You might want to consider adding a tractor protection valve (TP3) and trailer supply valve (PP7) on your truck for...
Why not use the emergency gladhand on the front or rear? I've aired up via the front gladhand without running the engine. Seems simpler that adding more fittings and additional plumbing.
Might look something kinda' like this...
They'd love it if a HEMTT showed up! The coordinators have been looking for more MV's.
And, the heat...your from Hesperia...and it's in Redondo Beach ;) Come on down!
Heads up to all So Cal members, better too early then too late ;),
