No, b/c saying that wouldn't be correct. Whether the words are worthy of the the pickup truck-bed or not, you should say "his choice of words suck
s". The verb applies to "choice" (singular subject) and not to "words" (plural object of the preposition). Therefore, the verb should be singular in number.
