Few brake questions

I got a very good deal on set of disc brake and front end rebuild at Brothers parking lot sale last weekend. It is 8 lugs (I know not many people like it these days). Now my questions are:
1- I have power brake right now, when I convert to disc brake is it enough to change the proportion valve or I have to change the whole booster and mc too?
2- If I don't have to chage booster and master cycliner, how can I test them to be sure they are working well?
3- For future refrence, is there any 8 lugs rear disc brake?
Thanks.

As far as I understand, you should be able to use tha same booster, but FOR SURE you need the MC and proportioning valve that matches the brakes from the same vehicle.

In other words, you want to change to disc, you need the disc MC and proportioning valve.
