That only applies if the 350 isn't stamped "High Perf," then I'd go with that one. In an old truck, cubes are your friend. To get one of these old bricks moving, you need low end (which you won't find much of in a 302, but the 350 should be plenty). Go as big as you can IMO, providing they're all equally built.
High Perf is only on big blocks, not small blocks. The only difference in passenger car and truck engines is usually compression (even then it the bigger trucks that have low compression). Cams in a truck engine will be more whimpy than a passenger car. Strenght wise for the most part a passenger car or truck engine is just fine.
