Obviously, if you're going to carry these tools and this spare equipment, you're going to need a good tool box or topper shell . . . I prefer the tool box because it tends to keep the volume down and doesn't restrict hauling capacity.

In spite of all you may have heard to the contrary, the MOTOR'S TRUCK & DIESEL REPAIR MANUAL is available to us non-pro mechanics, too. You can get yours most easily from the J.C. Whitney Go. in Chicago, from Sears and—now—from MOTHER. It retails for under $15.00 and will prove to be a great help to you in times of trouble I highly recommend it.

One last suggestion. If you're going to be operating your truck in cold climates, forget about the standard automotive 12-volt battery. Buy two 6-volt, 180 amp golf cart batteries and rig them up in series. They'll carry your truck all the way to the equator on the starter motor, if need be.
