Out of curiosity, let's see what parts of a truck people like best. I'm saying chassis and suspension since it's like the foundation of a truck, therefore most important to me. Engines are cool too though.

id have to say the engine or the interior is my favorite part, i love to have something that looks good under the hood, rumbles and gets up and goes, but i love the interior bc u can customize it to be about you, mine right now is in progress all teh plastics and vinyl r painted im just saving up for seats carpet and custom door panels and headliner, i also love the interior because u can make ur own entertainment center and wutever else u want

That's true, I also like interior components. I know it's a dumb poll but I thought it would be fun anyways.

I don't care how big your truck is or how sharp it looks...a truck isn't a truck without a kick ass engine in it.

Definately gotta be the engine. No matter how good the chassis is, you ain't movin' without an engine.

I know this is a poll but what the hell.
Most Important in order:
Engine
Chassis and Suspension
Driveline
Electronics
Body

That's true. But the way I see it is that with no frame, you have no truck to move anyways, since everything sits on the chassis. But still, having a punchy engine is definitely a plus.

Kindda like asking what's more important: The fishing pole, the line, the hook, the bait, or a bumper sticker reading "Work is for people who can't fish!". Without any of 'em (except the sticker), you're not getting dinner.
Not a bad poll, but it might have been better to ask "which would you choose to improve first?"

It was a close one for me. I like the body paneling first, then the engine a close second. I like some of the newer styles of body panels coming out on trucks in recent years, and I've seen some pictures of models yet to be released, and they look sharp. Don't get me wrong, the truck still has to be functional in that it can tow and haul a load. I've got the 4.3 in my truck and am satisfied with it, as long as it can do the job, I'm happy. I haven't done any mods to it as I use it for hauling and everyday driving, and I also own other vehicles, so I have to prioritize where I spend my money and on what.

I'd have to say wheels and tires can definitely make or break the way a truck or car looks. Gotta love a big lift too!

I would have the say the engine, But the frame and whatnot is the backbone of the truck.
