Re: 6 lug to 5 lug

You may have to look around a little more but you can find five-lug disc kits that don't come with the master / booster combo. Try Speedway Motors, I think they had something for $250.
6x5 1/2 is a *lot* cooler than 5x 4 3/4. 5x5 ain't bad though.
(I really don't know why I have actual feelings about bolt patterns)

I dont think so, but you'll need a proportioning valve though.

You don't have to run a booster. I don't know if you *have* to run a new master, but I know that you darned well *should* whether you run drums or discs.
Single pot master cylinders with single circuit distribution are one of those things that really needed upgrade. A lot of the rest that we've done with cars in the last 50-odd years, I can take or leave. Brake hydraulic re-design, we've done good.
