Can you define "work truck" in more detail? If you mean heavy hauling/towing work truck then a 454/400 is the ticket. If you mean daily driver with light to no towing or heavy hauling, then V6 with manual trans or 700R4 is the way to go. Rear axle can go as low as 2.73 for fuel economy to 4.56 for heavy towing.
