What's the next option to collect?
My truck was highly optioned, and I've added a few others. The basics are below. After the line is stuff I've added, and the * indicates stuff I have ready but not on the truck.
Big block AC Buckets Gauges Dual Batteries, HD Battery Tinted Glass --- Tilt Tach Speed Warning AM/FM Radio * GM Air shocks * Rear slider What else belongs on a highly optioned family Camper Special? A manual throttle might be nice, but there's really no point to it. I've decided that for now cruise is too messy under the hood, just too many boxes and cables and chains and so on. But I do have most of a setup. Is there anything that jumps out as you as "Well, if you have all of that, you really need X" on there?

Re: What's the next option to collect?
I have retractable (aftermarket) blue 3-point belts just for safety, as I have to drive it on the highway, so the bolt holes are already used unfortunately, but great idea! Keep them coming!

Re: What's the next option to collect?
Just picked up an NOS Delco PleasureLift PowerPak to run the big red GM NOS Air shocks.
Maybe my next project should be to restore a big period-correct 15' slide-in camper as the ultimate Custom Camper option :-)

Re: What's the next option to collect?
I have seen few of the GM CB. Even fewer in good condition.
That is a thing of beauty. Just one of those things that has nostalgic value for me because dad had one but I agree - accessory porn. Dig it.

It seems like Hadley made them for everyone, but I'd like to find a set marked as GM or that looks more like the one in the back of the owner's manual. If anyone has a lead, please let me know!

Re: What's the next option to collect?
A half ton truck is not complete w/out factory cab roof lights!!! And for the purists out there, of which I am one, am still looking for the RPO code for multiple color body panels!!!

Re: What's the next option to collect?
How about a headlight warning buzzer? Vent shades? cargo light? Lighted cigarette lighter. Glove box light? Stainless windshield and rear window trim?

1) Was dril rail moulding available for 70? I thought only 71 for some reason. Would it fit anyway? 2) What's a vent shade 3) Already have he cargo light, glove box, lighted cig lighter, stainless trim - but the lighter is only useful when removed, right? It doesn't show up lighted while still in the dash? 4) Headlight warning buzzer a stock option? Because I actually have a setup from a '69 Pontiac that is likely very similar.
