There are rear disk conversion kits available for the Eaton rear it just may take a little looking to find one. Check four-wheel-drive venders.
As for the front, I've read you can swap the torsion bar suspension for a coil spring version from a '71 or later disk brake truck. I've not done it, and I don't know what modifications might be required, but that would be one way to get front 8-lug disks and update to a suspension you can actually buy parts for.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
