For my 1981 C10 I've had since I was in high school (long time ago), my favorite things I did with my version of what you're talking about were

Seats - installed Recaro Specialist M seats in place of the bench. I actually fit now (I'm 6'6"). Supportive and comfortable too.

Vintage Air - I never had factor air in this truck so this was huge for comfort.

New Chevy Performance 350 crate motor- hydraulic roller with Vortec heads, First Fuel Injection intake and Holley HP ECU. About 365HP/420 lb/ft

Suspension- POL tubular upper and lower control arms, sway bars, new Alcan leafs in the rear made to my specs, and traction bars.

Dakota Digital HDX guages.

Modern stereo.

LOTS of sound deadening.

Did plenty of other stuff too.
