No aftermarket lift availible, you'll either have to make your own or find a Napco truck/parts. If you do it like the Napco was done, that's roughly 7" of lift just doing the conversion. You might also be able to adapt the suspension components from a later 4x4, like a mid'70s-mid '80s Chevy, to your existing chassis. Take a look at Stacey Davids Sgt. Rock project, you might be able to get some ideas for doing the conversin from that.

napco was an authorized converter of Chevy and GMC trucks to 4 wheel drive up to '57, then supplied parts for the factoy 4x4s to '59.
check out this http://www.napco4x4.org/ for more info.
