OP wrote--"I'm going to wait on converting the front brakes to disc and simply redo the brakes all around with stock replacements."
If the 444 brakes are like the '65 544 I owned brakes should not be a worry. One of the things I had to do with my car was a complete brake overhaul. I'd owned many cars with front disc brakes as well as many cars with drums all around. The Volvo brakes worked very well-one of its best points. Of course with drums you have to be aware while descending mountains not to overheat them - and caution when going through deep puddles as water will finds its way between the brake shoes and drum - resulting in possible loss of braking. -- Dave
