2nd choice would be donor parts . Captainfab has a list of parts posted in a forum, on how to build your own 6 lug disc brakes, using common parts store parts. I believe you still use your original A arms, too, but not sure, woould have to look for the thread about it. (Something I would look into)

3rd would be a packaged kit- it'll be complete with about everything you will need, whether you are switching to 5 lug or staying with 6. Going to 5 will involve doing something with the rear axles/drums to change them over.
thanks keeping drums and adding power sounds easiest...
