8-lug front disk brake upgrade

I'd like to convert to front discs (currently power drums) but with 8-lug wheels there are not a lot of choices.

The owner I bought it from had collected the whole crossmember from an original disc-brake truck, and I could probably buy/get it from him, but then they're all 40-year-old parts I'd be starting with. By the time I rebuild the calipers and add new rotors and so on I don't know I'd be much ahead of all new.

The only one I could to date is here:

However that kit says "C-10", and mine's a longhorn (so C-20). Also I don't see a master cylinder. Wouldn't I need a disc/drum master and junction?

If anyone has been down this road before, or if a vendor has parts, please let me know!

Thanks
Dave
