WHAT TO CARRY W/ YOU ... good question.
quack quack tape (now available in all of the homeland defense colors) (listen to Garrison Keilor's prairie home companion), points, cond, swiss army knife, couple tools, wrenches, wire, trouble shooting guide book -http://www.42fordgpw.com/book3.html (pretty kool site), wiring diagram of your truck, fuel filter, extra fuses, various hose clamps & hose, a reflector kit, cell phone and book.
3 speed linkage gave me troubles, crap in the gas tank stopped gas flowing b4 it could reach the inline filter, so jim made a brass pipe fitting (like on motorcycles) that has a brass screen that acts as a primary filter. But I have a new under bed tank now.
