1969 K20 axles

I'm new to the forum and to the 1969 K20 I just picked up. Its really ugly but mechanically sound. I'm really enjoying driving then old girl around. I'm hoping to pick up a doner and in one swoop get some new skin on her. Eyeing a gear vendor add to make her a little more practical going down the road. But my question is really about axles. I'm sure there are threads out here on this,but I just didn't find one that simply adressed my question. If I wanted to get to 4 wheel disk brakes, what axles are the most practical way of doing that? Also I have the Eaton posi lock on the back. What are those worth? Would love to find somebody trying to get back to stock to trade for disc equipped axles.

You can add disks to the eaton ho52 with 14 boltff caliper brackets and mid 70s 3/4 ton front rotors. As for the front axle 71+ will be a bolt in swap. You likely have to change your master and proportioning valve as well.
