Just as the title suggests; What if the Cold War went into a full blown conventional war, where both sides did not use their nuclear weapons, out of fear of mutual destruction?

Most likely the period will be between 1960 and 1980, as this was the period of the post Crustjow time (Breznev and successors), knowing to be harliners in Communist doctrine, opposed to a West becomming wealthier and more capitalistic than ever. (and very anti-Communism as well)

Given the knowledge of Soviet superiority in numbers of conventional weapons in the period, but mostly a bit less technologically advanced compared to Western equipment, what would te outcome be of a possible conflict?
