Sorry it's not what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth and that's what you need to know.
As for the brakes, there is a booster, master cylinder, and then I think you need a longer push rod that goes from the pedal to the master cylinder.
I like to go to the ram man for my brake needs. He's very friendly and will explain whatever you need to know. He restores old brake system for a reasonable price and will let you know what you need and may have what you need.
