yes it makes a differenence - do NOT do what you just mentioned. Aft port (closest to the firewall) goes to front brakes, forward port (closest to grille) goes to the rear brakes.

I won't swear by it - but I've never, ever heard of any vehicles, new or old, being plumbed the way you just mentioned. But definitely not correct for these trucks.

Excellent safety question, glad you asked! Big safety implications.
