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

Hello all, first post!

I've bought myself my first truck, a 1969 Chevy C10 sight unseen over the internets. Here it is:


I'm planning on driving it from Arkansas straight north to my home in Winnipeg, Canada this Friday. Google says this is just over 1000 miles. I might be a little stupid...

What are some things I should be packing with me for my trip? I've never owned something older than 1989.
Here's my list so far:
-standard wrench set
-standard socket set
-phillips and slotted screwdrivers
-sidecutters
-vicegrips
-duct tape
-zip ties
-hose clamps
-fuses (what type would this truck take? glass fuses?)
-lengths of wire
-jumper cables
-knife/razor blades

Once I get there I was going to pick up:
-jerry can
-oil, brake fluid, atf, coolant
-spare tire and jack if it doesn't have one

Any spare parts I should stock up on in case of roadside repair? HEI module? Fuel filter? Electric fuel pump and some fuel hose?
The seller says it's got a 305 engine and it clearly has a newer Edelbrock carb on it.



Any other tips or advice?
