I am going to assume you have a D70HD. So every thing in this post applies to that axle.
When you say convert it to srw, do you want to change the width of it?
You can bolt a single wheel onto it as is.
You can put a 14 bolt SRW hub on it, w/ no mods but it will widen the axle by several inches, & you will not be able to retain the drums.
I bought weld on disc brake calipers from http://www.aa-mfg.com/ . They are $7.00 ea. I used the regular 14 bolt swap stuff after that. 3/4 ton frt rotors & calipers. You will need to grind o these calipers to get them to clean a 15" wheel if they have a lot of backspacing.

I'm running the stock-width Dana 70HD with 12-bolt H1 wheels and RuffStuff Specialties bolt-on caliper brackets.
Here are some pictures.... and yes, I really painted them purple.
Here's a link to the caliper brackets
