This is such a cool thread! A couple of things that I have added - Cobra 29LTD CB radio (not GM brand but I had it laying around), 1970 Nebraska inspection sticker, late 60's road maps in the glove box, Hamm's church key and a license plate frame from the dealer where my truck was sold new. Excuse the Sinclair dinosaur, I saw it for sale at the local Sinclair and couldn't resist

I remember having that exact SD map when I was a kid. Still my favorite bridge in the Black Hills.

Not really an accessory but the 68 still has T-3 Headlamps that work

That area is incredible. I try to make it up to Deadwood every year.

Just keeping this thread alive. My ACME under dash A/C unit, much like the old Mark IV.

What a coincidence there's been someone running an ad on Craigslist looking for McKee Pontiac dealer items lately. They were before my time but funny I see one here that's living in Nebraska.

A couple years ago I picked up a Suburban taillight complete with the socket and housing. I set it in the box of spare taillights until this morning when I needed an 1157 bulb for the Burban. After checking my stash of light bulbs and coming back empty handed. (The stash only had a pair of 1154's which after checking I found out are 6 volt. Well at least I didn't find that out the hard way.

)

So I turned to the box of spare taillights hoping to find the correct bulb in an old taillight. Sure enough I got luck but in an unusual way.

The bulb in the Burban taillight was this old school bulb with leads to hook up extra taillights or possibly trailer lights. First time I've come across a bulb like this.

It's not as cool as many of the items in this thread but, it's nice bump to the top for the thread.

Compass - works well. Same a pictured in the Accessories catalogue for 1972.

Proper mounting required being up from the dash, but lower than the ceiling due to all the magnetic interference. It's just below the rearview mirror
