Well, disguising military equipment as civilian vehicles just means any enemy is going to target civilian vehicles, but yeah can’t argue with cost efficiency.
Probably wouldnt be too hard, with North Korea being as poor and hard hit with sanctions as it is, there are few motor vehicles in the country, and in a war time scenario they would likely be using almost every single one (except for the personal vehicles owned by party elites) in a military capacity.
NK already has mandatory military service for 10 years starting at 17 years old. If they went to war they could just draft literally everyone else. Doubt you could consider anyone but the children and the elderly “civilians”
Civilian trucks are expensive decoys compared to balloon or plywood ones, but on balance probably not that bad given that unlike having to make and store pure military decoys, functional civilian trucks make money during peacetime.

Unfortunately any large scale conflict with north Korea is probably going to require just that.

It’ll be very similar to how things went down in Japan during WW2 where they’d militarized all of their civilians
