Depending on what the wrecking yard will charge you for all that stuff in post 2 and 3 (which is good advice), you may just want to consider a 6 lug front disk conversion kit from places like POL or CPP (well, maybe not them...) or one of the many other mfgrs.

71-72 are your primary target junkyard vehicles with factory front disks. But as dbm highlighted, they are 5 lug. Also keep in mind that if you have stock steel pre-71 wheels, they will not clear the caliper on factory front disk brakes. So keep that in mind, including your spare tire plan...
