Default converting dodge to diesel

I just bought a 1999 dodge 2500 4X4 truck with a v10 motor i want to do one of two things. the truck has a bad motor and tranny.

OPTION 1: I have a military 6x6 deuce and a half, I really want to put the motor, tranny, transfercase, and front end and rear end in my dodge truck. is this at all possible? im measuring it up and want to know if anyone has done it. Maybe I should keep the dodge front end and rear end in it.

OPTION 2: I want to put a second generation cummins 24valve motor in my dodge, will the tranny and transfercase need to be changed with the v10 motor or can I use it. If I want to use a cummins motor and tranny will my v10 transfercase bolt to it?

V10 out, Cummins in. Trans stays. Remove the fuel pump from the tank and just have a line running in there with a filter on the end. Done!
