At the risk of belaboring this, I agree wholeheartedly that power drum brakes are a vast improvement over non-power brakes, and most certainly you can and probably should perform that upgrade. I've done that very thing on our '56 Nomad, as well as a '67 Chevy II Nova SS bought brand new that we no longer own, and I'm very comfortable with them, so please don't misinterpret. The cost/benefit of a full-on disc brake conversion, on the other hand, is a highly subjective decision, so only you can make that call.
