25 + mpg '72 swb 4x4??

Here's the deal. Ever since I sold my '72 swb 4x4, I have been sick. It wasn't anything special but it was a good foundation for a really nice truck. All the running gear had been rebuilt but the body was rough. I have decided to start looking for another one this summer and build it to drive every day, look good, and get 25 mpg...... or close to it. My question to everyone here is if you had a blank sheet of paper, what would you do to the truck to meet the goal? The only thing is the truck has to keep the stock ride height and have A/C. Any engine/trans/ t-case combo is fair game. The first engine that comes to mind is a Dmax swap. Maybe a BMW diesel or gas engine?? The 6.2/6.5/olds 350 GM diesels and the Cummins diesels are out. Oh one last thing, the 25 mpg needs to be city. I know, I know
