What do you like about modern interiors?
 
Ok I am getting new seats covered to go in the old truck and I'm trying to think of other things I can add to the interior while I'm at it. So I guess just list the things we like about modern interior. Neat little features that may seem silly but add to our experience. Here is my list so far:

-temp/compass mirror
-extra led lighting in footwells around door handles etc
-how quiet newer vehicles are compared to our old trucks/windtunnels
-heated seats

Idk I guess most of these seem trivial but I'm looking for ideas. Post some stuff up and bonus points if you get creative and give thoughts on implementing your idea. My truck is still gonna stay basically stock. I want new features that look like they could have came from the factory.

Noise/heat insulation,A/C,Music,Keg cooler/dispenser(might need to go mini in a PU),headliner,upholstered door panels(depending on model),GPS in era looking console,Cup holders,Humidor for cigars,Drawers for under seats,storage behind seats(if the fuel tank is moved,Custom horn button,and custom painted glove box door.I've also considered a cover to clean up the under dash area,where the heater box and wiring and such show.
Thats a short list of things I've thought of.

Hey guys I think we can all agree we all like 67-72 trucks which is why we are on here... and with all the aftermarket stuff available we can take all the modern convinces (to each his own to choose what he likes and not for others to ridicule) and make our old trucks have them! On that note, here's my list :)
1) More insulation
2) Fuel Cell is not in the cab
3) More power/ towing capacity.

While all of this is easily done to our old trucks... I still like the old trucks way better! Heck my '67 rode better on the stock 40 year old suspension with the original shocks than my '09 GMC Sierra Crew Cab All Terrain Edition

building my truck i wanted an old/customized look of the 67-72 with the great daily/long haul drive ability of a newer truck.so i mashed the body of a 67 gmc with the frame/suspension/drive train and power plant 01 sierra.that being said this is how i did the interior to combine the two. http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMG_1527.jpg

AC is nice, but I like a truck to be a truck. Modern trucks are too cushy for my taste.
