Looking for some Clarification/Advice

I have been working on a 1968 GMC LWB I picked up sometime ago and have decided to swap to disc's upfront and go ahead and rebuild the current front suspension.

The truck no where states that it had power steering or power drums, so can someone tell me if this is factory, or has this been added somewhere along the lines. From my understanding a 4wheel drum 1/2ton shouldnt have a mc/booster and prop valve.

Much thanks in advance!

That's not a prop valve it's a distribution block. The booster could have been added. The power steering could have been added too.

Could this mc/booster with a aftermarket prop valve be used when swapping over to disks?

You'll need a new master cylinder.
