You might do a search, I seem to recall that someone did cross over the bearings to the taper style. There are also a couple of threads about doing a disk conversion using various rotors and calipers.
A suggestion I'll make on that would be to look at the '01-current Silverado 2500HD/3500. They run a beefy disk with a dual piston caliper.All you would have to do is fab the caliper to spindle mounting bracket. I'm thinking about doing something similar using 1/2 ton parts should i ever swap my '55 over to disk brakes.
