Default Cam guru's I need some help. 1968 pu/6.0 motor

I am in the middle of doing a full frame off restoration on my 1968 pick up. I am installing a stock 6.0 litre motor from an 06 Hummer. I will be installing long tube headers a cam and converter before it go's in the truck. I need some help picking out a cam. I want something somewhat easy to tune and streetable but rather large. I am willing to exchange some streetablility for horsepower, but this truck will be a cruiser. What do you all recommend?

what i run honestly. ive been driving it daily and its stock like untill you decide to give it more then 1/8 throttle. it idles mean and very noticable. only flaw i see is under 1800 rpms in OD it bucks some but not a problem if you leave it in 3rd to you get up to 40.

its the TSP tv2 232/234 .595/.598 112 and anyone that says its not a daily driven cam has never experienced it. its is also in a LS6 intake,11.1 CR, LS6 head,midlengths,3800 stall,410s and etc etc etc.
