If you were building a restomod which modern improvements would you add?

Hi all. I'm looking to get ideas for my 1987 Silverado. I'll be starting the tear down process around 6 months from now. But I like to have my parts already on hand. So I wanted to stop by and get some ideas for a 2wd street truck.

What would you add to a square body if you were going to do a resto mod truck? In this scenario, you don't care about originality much. Also, I'm not looking for things that would've appeared on normal models, like power windows. I'm looking for things these trucks never had. Or vast improvements to their original equipment. For example, adding automatic power windows to a truck that came with regular power windows. So you don't have to hold the button down. Or a full sound deadening suite, even if it costs $1,500.

What would you do? One of the things I'm thinking of adding, just for my own use sometimes, is a hidden winch on the front. A winch that is in stealth mode somehow. I'm also going to move the fuel tank to where the clock is in the gauge cluster, and put an RPM gauge where that big fuel level gauge is.

So what all would you do?
