1960 Drum/Drum Brake Upgrade to Booster

So I want to keep my drum brakes on the truck but I want to upgrade to a power booster and a split reservoir. I'm also swapping to a T5 transmission on my 235 and was wondering which would be the cheapest method to upgrade to this? Do I need anything special because or keeping the manual transmission such as a clutch cylinder?

I have bought and used the Power Steering plate personally. It fit great, and worked well!
