Getting ready for cross country trip in the spring

[bolivar619]

I have a 65 c10 with a th350 trans & 350 sbc with an msd ignition. When I bought the truck 4 years ago I had all new suspension components installed and also upgraded to power brakes with disc brakes in the front.

I'm planning on moving across the country in April and I'm looking for suggestions on what i should do to ensure that i have the best chance possible to make it 2600 miles without any mechanical issues and who better to ask than the experts here.

Currently I'm planning on installing a new larger gas tank under the bed where the spare tire fits & run new fuel lines cause I'm not a fan of having the tank in the cab with me. Also looking to have a more fuel efficient carb installed. Going to upgrade the wipers to a two speed intermittent system, put some west coast mirrors on it so I can see better while towing, add a towing hitch and put a cap on the bed so i can bring all my stuff with me. Im only planning on towing about 2k lbs in a 8x5 trailer.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance
