If it was my project, I would install the later spindles and juice brakes on the '35 front using a new kingpin set and brake parts as needed. In the rear, I would take the hydraulic brakes off the later rear, rebuild as needed, and install them on your axle.
Seems like the correct and probably quickest way to get thru that part of your project, and still keeps the chassis mostly true to original.

I agree with Rich, use the spindles, backing plates and drums from the front with a new king pin and bushing set, use the backing plates and drums from the rear and you may want to check the condition of the brake lines, they rust from the inside out. Your also going to need a set of 39 pedals and a master if you did not acquire those parts in your purchase.
I just finished up this conversion on my 36. You can see the upgrade here.
