Default Re: advice needed - what parts to take on a raod trip?

I don't know where I got it, but I found a cheap set of tools in a plastic case. It was about 16" X 12" X 4". It was cheap set, but that was actually good, because the assortment was great even though the tools were not the best. In addition to a socket set, wrenches, screwdrivers and pliers, it had electrical tape, a test light, a small hacksaw, and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff. It also had small compartments with clear plastic covers on the outside that I filled with nuts and bolts, screws and electrical terminals. I still have it and take it with me every place I go. I have a 1951 model with just about everything new or rebuilt, so I don't take any parts with me. I just have a jack and a good spare. Among my trips was one from the Twin Cities to Chicago which passed without incident. While not too familiar with prewar cars, I believe that the post war cars are reliable enough to be used without worrying about spare parts, etc. if properly maintained.
