Re: What to bring on 1000 mile road trip with a truck I've never seen?

Nice truck! Congrats on your purchase. You have a great list so far.

Belts, or change belts before leaving. Definitely an HEI module AND coil. Only time my truck left me stranded, the HEI coil gave out. I now carry a spare in the truck, just in case. Might even bring one with you, would only take a few minutes to swap on before the trip.

When I head out on long trips, I carry a blanket, water and snacks for emergency only.

Be sure to post pics on your trip home! I love to see photos from long trips like that!

P.S. Long trips are a good time to run fuel cleaner too. A few ounces of Marvel Mystery oil in each tank. Might also scout your route to see if there are any extended distances without fuel available.
