and is a rear disc brake conversion a good or bad?
The H072 rear axle was rated at a maximum of 7200 lbs with the RO5(dual rears) option and suitably rated tires.
To get a higher rated rear axle on a CS/CE30 you needed to order RPOs H022/H023 which included the 10 lug H0110 axle rated at 11,000 lbs.

Might want to review you driver's handbook or the 72 service manual's load capacity charts to see the options and tires required to achieve the specific axle and GVW ratings. Many C30 were built with a 6600 lb GVW (gross/ total vehicle weight)
