If you know of six lug rotors that will fit those spindles, spill the part number, please.

I would price it out first.Since you want to saty with 6 lug you may get a better price buying a 6 lug disc kit(without spindles) from a BB vendor.IIRC they run about $270 and would include all of the above.You would still need the MC but I really think going to PB's is going to help a lot also.The disc brakes are nice but still require a lot of pedal pressure.

How comprehensive of a list are you after? The one obvious missing on your list is calipers.

You'll need bearings and nuts (all the small parts in the hub). (Probably ~$50.) Disc brakes will require a different soft line.

Proportioning values for drum/drum are different than disc/drum. This forum is the first place I've ever heard of guys using the old proportioning valve. Drums are low volume/high pressure while disc calipers take high volume/low pressure.

If you don't have power brakes currently, and you have decent fab skills, you may do well grabbing a junkyard booster/master cylinder/proportioning valve from a 73-87. You'll need to make your own rod to connect to the brake pedal and your own bracket to connect to the booster to the firewall.

You can remove the restrictor from the prop valve. Jeep YJ brackets work very well for the booster.
