What valve did you buy etc...? Is it a special one that is needed so the rod can be fitted inside?
mine is dripping and in the initial stages of disintegration being 22 years old.
Thanks for any advice.

That is very early Chevy, but if it is like the later ones, ours is an 07, both the valves are on the Tee fitting that the tanks go into before connecting to the dump hose. The tee and valves are one assembly but the valves can be disassembled to replace the bad parts.
Easiest way to do it probably is to replace the entire Tee fitting and valves as one piece. It should be held in place by 3 rubber couplings from the tanks and hose fitting, I think. All you will need to disconnect other than hose clamps and couplings would be the dump cables to the valves. Might as well replace both valves and be done with it.
