What motor and transmission will you be using? What is important to you in a daily driver?

My '55 1st GMC Suburban, with a GMC 270 inline motor and a SM420 transmission is a daily driver with the rear from a '73 Chevelle wagon under the rear.

Its not the fastest or most economical vehicle on the road and it doesn't pull a loaded trailer very well. But it behaves reasonably well keeping up with traffic and gets 17 mpg on the highway.

These details may not help you at all, but more information about how you want to use your truck and what other modifications you are planning would go a long way to help us answer your question.
