Wanting to change front drum brakes to disc. Appreciate any advice and suggestions.

Vendor recommendations? CPP, Auto City Classic, Western Chassis, Speedway, etc

Brake Booster? Looking at dual 8 diaphragm. current engine is straight six with 16 vacuum at idle. Is this going to be sufficient?

Rim clearance? Understand that stock drum rims may not clear disk calipers? If thats the case looking at early 70's 4 wheel drive rims from Original Wheels?
I want to keep original look.

Any and all input would be most helpful. Picture of Ole Blue below.
