Why do you want rear discs? They require more assist, so simply bolting them in place of drums is actually a downgrade in braking performance.

I threw a junkyard rear end in the truck back in 2012 with God knows how many miles on the shoes/drums and they're still going strong. You're greatly exaggerating the difference that discs make and completely ignoring the bias requirement on something you'll never drive hard enough to need the rear fade resistance. If you wanna do it for street cred, have fun.
That is a decision only you can decide. The only thing I see is hardtop find calipers that will work with the size of the brakes you need for your weight class. I would love rear disc brakes. Cant find them to work with the parking brake.
They sell a kit on eBay for the 14 bolt full float that has calipers with provision for a park brake. The only issue is you have to rake out $500.
