I hear you on the price of the bearings !!!
As you know for us 60-62 guys disc brakes are not as easy to do. Yes you can swap out the front cross member, or go with disc brake spindles ( about 200-300) or you can try those adaptors.
What ever way you decide to go you would still need new or rebuilt calipers,new rotors,brake hose and a disc master cylinder.
You may also run into some problems with a booster if your truck is a stick.
I went with the spindels ,6lug rotors from Mcgauhy. I purchased the calipers,hoses,bearings and seals from a local parts house ( ask for 1972 c10 parts) I got new balljoints and an aluminum master from CPP.I am going to use a hydroboost instead of a vacum booster. All I need to do is find time to install .
The addaptors seem easy enough to install but may be a bit small.
