Welcome! I've had my 79 for the past 22 years and even a small toolbox
would get me back home. A carry-on toolbox must at least include:
1. 7/16" wrench
2. Two 1/2" wrenches (second required to loosen alternator mount)
3. 9/16" wrench
4. Flat blade Screwdriver
5. Philips Head Screwdriver
6. Pliers
7. Small Voltmeter
8. Spare fuses
9. Fan Belt
10. 5/8" Heater Hose with clamps
11. Bicycle brake cables
12. Gallon of Distilled Water
13. Duct Tape
14. Coat Hanger
15. Hairbrush (when I had hair)
16. Cell Phone (previously was a quarter for payphone)
17. Bicycle (for long trips) :-)
