Your not the only one. I'm changing my K to a C also. Except that I want to keep a solid/straight front axle. I've been trying to find out which if any 50's straight or dropped axle will have the same track as the Dana-44 on my truck. Otherwise I'll just wait and build a complete axle assy on my own latter. I do want to keep my disc brakes and 6-hole wheels. I've already pulled the X-fer case and the M-465 tranny out, put in a Summit TH-400, & added 2" to the drive shaft. Now to find an axle.
