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

[Run Away]

First off, I want to say thank you for the very warm welcome...the fact some people are willing to help out a complete stranger means a lot.

I bought a CAA (Canadian AAA) premier membership this morning so I've got a 320km tow in my pocket now.

I'm planning on taking I29 the whole way from Siloam Springs to the Pembina, ND border crossing. Departing from AR midday on Friday Feb 6....my customs paperwork including the new AES filing is all in order.


Adding electrical tape, coat hangers/wire, and a coil to my list of things to bring. Someone mentioned to me I should buy a boat gas tank instead if a jerry can, that way I can temporarily replace the whole fuel system up to the carb if needed, and I think that's a decent idea.

Can anyone tell me what kind of car I should ask a parts store clerk for when buying a coil or HEI module? I remember from school there are 4 pin and 7 pin HEI modules and I don't know which this truck has.
