Repair kit.

I’m driving my new 68 suburban home tomorrow, but it is a 1200 Mile Drive so I want to be prepared for any break downs.

I’m thinking of taking the regular tool kill, extra hoes, clamps, antifreeze, and some Ducktape.

Just wondering if there are any suggestions one what else I should take? Are there any must haves?



Thanks

Matthew

Extra gas can(full), flashlight, chain, cell phone, something to lay on, extra belts, full air tank, jack, gloves, food and water for an extended stay if break down.

Re: Repair kit.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. However, that is a nice looking truck. Nothing that a rebuild or another engine won't cure.
