Just off the top of my head here, I don't know the condition of your truck, but I would look into a 5 gallon drum of EP90 gear oil, a new set of points, rotor button and distributor cap, and condensor to have on hand, a radiator muff if you live in a colder environment, a few extra fuses, a multimeter to chase down electrical failures, a good set of wrenches, both SAE and metric, an extra fan belt, and a set of screwdrivers to keep in the truck, a key blank, so you can have an extra key made up, a grease gun, and a case of your favorite beer to time the engine with.
If you have an overdrive, perhaps all the bits from RDS, to remove it if it should break down away from home.
Bad gas mileage gets you to some of the greatest places on earth.

Thats almost an exact list of everything I had to replace on mine, and the tools to do it, in the first year.
Also, an industrial sized box of cat litter to sop up the oil leakage... a soft cloth to wipe away tears into on a regular basis... a supply of good beer (in bottles, for timing, trust us).

... and for ****s and giggles, get a spare U joint, and say good bye to your clear garage floor. . . I've heard the British haven't started to make computers yet because they haven't figured out how to make them drip oil...
