Lowering on the cheap - 68 SWB C10 6 lug drum

I recently purchased a 68 SWB stepside. It is 6 lug drum brakes, w/coils in the rear. How is the best way to lower it on the cheap? Is there such a thing as a dropped spindle for drum brakes?

This is just a beater truck / shop / patina truck. I would like to do 5 lug disk but I don't want to drop the cash for the booster, lines, rotors, etc. etc. I don't really want to just cut the coils .. I'd like to find some dropped spindles for it. I have some coils and adj. panhard bar ready to go for the rear I just need to figure out something on the front.

I'm planning steelies, dogdish caps and whitewalls once I can get it down a little bit. Your thoughts?
