....I've never seen this list but this is great community effort wherever it is.
That said, (RUN AWAY) post a probable map route of your trip and then maybe members along that posted route will chime in if they are near it and might be of service.
Never under estimate peoples willingness to help out someone when they can...certainly within this (classic truck/car) community.
The other thing I would pick up is a good, new battery and travel with 2 on board. I'd sell the used one when I got home for a couple of bucks to recoup some cost. Its great piece of mind to look down and see a nice spare battery sitting there ready for use if needed....very cheap investment when setting out on the trip.
All Good
