thats not the issue -- the OP just needs an excuse to his wife to free up the cash for the disc conversion so he can get 5 lug wheels. At most, drums just need to be rebuilt properly to be up to safety standards, but then again so does a disc system from a 30 year old donor vehicle, as there is still a bit that can go wrong there (stuck calipers, bad P-valve, corroded lines, etc --- donor vehicles can be a PIA, especially when all the parts to do this semi-economically are in a McGaughy's, ECE or CPP catalog).
A power brake booster does wonders for a 4 wheel drum system too
