On any early single master cylinder setup, all the brake lines have the same pressure coming out of the manifold. The manifold is what you are talking about, and has a pressure type brake light switch. Two of those three lines go to the front two brake cylinders, with the third brake line going to the rear of the truck.
On this brake line to the rear, it goes to a flexible brake hose to another brake line manifold/coupler connected onto the top of the rear axle with a vent tube in the middle of it, also securing it to the axle itself.
Then two hard lines on top of the rear axle from that manifold, one to each side of it.
SO, the short answer was,,,

Excellent! Thanks a ton. I've thought about it and started questioning if there waswas different pressure to the rear so the front may go first..

to control the brake bias, the rear wheel cylinders are a different size than the front wheel cylinders.
