Life happened and I was unable to respond to this thread. But here is what I decided to do.
Pay off the truck
The house has no tax savings for me because we take the standard deduction. I don't have enough taxable expenses to itemize. I saw some comments about the tax benefits for owning a home.
The main reason I am going this route is because I don't want to empty my emergency reserves. Good call. One step closer!

If you are set on paying one or the other off, then 100% the house (assuming you are not upside down on the truck). You are going to pay a hell of a lot more interest on your home mortgage than you are your truck interest. That is because your term is longer on your house…nearly double.

If I pay the house off now, I only have 2 years left on my truck. I think I have 7 left on the house.. overall money savings would be to pay the house off now. But it will cost me about $30k to do that now. Which would wipe out my emergency fund. But I have other avenues for emergencies if I needed them. I may change my mind again...haha! I keep going back and forth
