Use a master cylinder from a later car with the same brake setup - drum/drum, etc.
You will need to be able to do double flares on the brakelines. A little practice would be good.
If you want to replace all the brake lines, now's a good time! Kits are available.
At the distribution block, disconnect the rear brakeline. Cap off that port on the block. Adapt the old line or make a new line to go to the rear of the master cylinder for the front brakes.
Make a new line to join the rear brake line through a union to the front of the master cylinder, paralleling the original line.
Oh, and remember to put the fittings on BEFORE you bend and flare the lines. :oops:
Flush and bleed. Check for leaks. Bleed again if needed. Check again.

Here's a shot of my distribution block, and the rear brake line union.
