So I just want you to know I bought an 80 square body six tears ago did off frame restoration. Two of the modifications I did recently after my restoration. Cross over steering, and change out bench seat to a set of 2024 Tahoe front seats and center console. Not only did the center console hav e storage space but has cup holders also I connected power to the seats and I have adjustable seats and lumbar support. Note if I ever want to sell my beast, I do have the original bench seat and steering. But as far as comfort and drivability these were the best additions. Restoration included AC, tint and sound system (that I can enjoy).

You should look into the Philips brand headlights. I got them on my 85 k10. They have the original glass look and a single led at the top so it doesn’t look like those cheap 20 led headlights that everyone is running. They are pretty bright as well.

No cup holders, no stereos was common because these were work trucks on the ranch and cruising into town to get some hay bales. Only later on did you get more convenience items. A/C too. It was an extra or not even an option. I think they are good things to add. Shoulder belts, also. In the 70’s it was lap belts only on these. 4x4 is nice but it’s more maintenance, more weight, worse economy and more to go wrong. In snow and mud it’s a must have. If not, all terrain tires and a LSD rear differential work good for 95% of the situations you’ll get in. On my Land Rover I took the LED bar off and put two LED spot lamps on the front bumper. Worked great and had a classic look. Good video and a nice rig, brother!

Nice truck Bro. I have a 73 K10 4 speed 465 and 205 transfer. 6 inch lift with 35 inch tires. THE NUMBER 1 thing to do first on all these trucks is crossover steering. My entire front end is new, also welded in frame reinforcement for new steering box, Borgesen steering shaft and a frame brace from Off Road Design. My truck never came with AC and I took the radio out I just listen to the exhaust. Duals with 2 Super 10s dropped 4 feet behind the cab. Good luck man, again very nice truck!!
