Well I'm gonna start off by breaking party lines and go with a P-pumped Cummins 12 valve with a ZF-6 tranny, but mount it on a 97 Ford F-350 frame. High pinion D60 up front, with a D80 rearend. Then put a singlecab longbed with a flatbed on it. Mild 4'' lift 35'' boggers. The ultimate ranchtruck.

Sticking with ford here, how about a real Ranger GT, with early 90s mustang GT 5.0 5spd drive train, short bed 2wd with 4 wheel discs....Done cleanly as if it just left the factory.

Well, you stole my engine and trans choices, but you can keep the frame. I'll stuff mine into a 70 F250 Sport Custom 4x4, but with a mated transfer case, crossover power steering, and D60s front and rear turning 36" Goodyear MT/Rs through selectable lockers. Receivers front and rear with Anderson connectors to handle 9-12k winches, and dual batteries with a large-frame 160amp alternator.
An actual stereo system integrated into the truck, and it's all set to go. Well, all set after a nice two-tone paint job with Boxwood Green below the trim, and Diamond Green above it.

Real trucks have the key on the left FTE Guidelines
4000lbs MAX Curb Weight +- options, 250Hp Direct injected V6, Reg Cab, Scab option With 6.5'-8' box. Payload in the 1500lb range, around 7500 towing. 6 speed auto & 6Speed man.
NO CREW CAB, If You want a commuter truck, Buy a 2009 6500 lb F150!
It's gotta have simple, comfortable seating, CC,PW,PL,PM,AC available.
A couple of useful gages.
Go back to 16" wheels, there's absolutely no need for anything larger.
Box rails low enough to reach over, while standing on the ground. So We won't need no stinking tailgate steps/side box steps just to use the box.
