Don't limit yourself to picking just trucks. A lot of GM car parts will work as well, especially if you want function over form. I have a Blazer steering wheel and a Spectrum rear view mirror in my 75. The Pontiac steering wheel would have worked mechanically, but didn't match the style of the column as well as the Blazer one did. My THERMAC temp sensor was taken from a generic GM car. Pulled a 12SI alternator out of a GM car as well, just needed to swap the mounting bracket and clock the alternator.
