The master cylinder MUST match the brake configuration. Four wheel drums needs an all-drum M/C. Disk/drum needs a disk/drum M/C. Four wheel disks need an all-disk M/C. Converting to front disks is easy, since this was a factory option. You can do that now, then add the rear disks later, but you'll need to swap the M/C again at that time.

I would also add that you should become more informed about automotive braking systems before attempting to do any of these swaps yourself. This is a real safety issue, not just for yourself but for other people on the road.
