questions...

how hard was this conversion ?
did the military ever have such a unit?

 

[Cucv_M1008]

All military k5's aka M1009's where 10 bolt only. you needed to buy the truck to get the dana 60 and 14FF

All the military cucv s had turbo 400 automatics.Putting a sm465 4 spd. in is easy,there is a pretty good thread in the chevy diesel section here on the subject

Better mileage, lower first gear, easier to start if you are having starting issues (pull or down hill starts).
