In my opinion the commonly used aftermarket disc brake kits for a 14 bolt are less good than the large drum brakes.. perhaps I'm wrong. Parking brake situation is also not good.

If you do want disc brakes I'd use those from a late model 3/4 or 1 ton that actually had disc brakes on the rear, and parking brake included.
See here for that info
