1965 C10 4X4 military truck info?

I was unaware the K series was prior to the 70's. Is it because it is a 4x4 is why it is a K rather than a C?

Yep - jkirn's right. Many aren't aware of this - K will appear in the VIN if it's an original 4x4. In the 70's, the "K5" Blazer actually got a K badge also so that's why many folks assume K didn't exist til the 70's. But the K has always been part of the VIN post-NAPCO days.

I'm not familiar with Navy trucks, but I'm guessing there's nothing different than the civilian model since it has civilian (bowtie) badges on it.
This is my 65 K-10 that was a former Forestry Service truck. It used to have a US plate on it also, but it's civilian specs in every way.

When I was in the Army even civilian type vehicles got what the Army called nomenclature plates, and I suspect that's what you're seeing there.
Either way, good looking truck you've got there to start with.
Good luck and be sure to start a build thread on it.
