To upgrade to disc brakes would require changing out the entire suspension basically as it changes the lug pattern as well which also means new wheels. I like the c20 though as it'll haul everything I could ask it to. I'm a woodworker so I often haul quite a bit.
In your case you could do the same idea, but swap out with a later model C20 (71-89) and you'd be able to have same bolts pattern.

denverslim I agree with captain fab.

Oh yeah, welcome aboard and good luck. Let us know what you find.
