Newbie has a brake question

I'm buying a real nice 67 1/2 ton long box that has power drum brakes. What brake parts can I keep when I change it to disk brakes. Plan on using Dropped A arms and springs to lower the front 5 inches.

Keep your booster. You'll need a new disc/drum master cylinder and proportioning valve. Your brake lines should be good as well as the rear brakes.
