ebinmaine 67,596 #26 Posted October 28, 2021 Some excellent answers here folks. Just excellent. Thank you. That's why I posted this. 5 hours ago, JoeM said: newer trucks This will be predominantly in my 1986 Ford f250 so configuration shouldn't be an issue. I intend to keep it behind the seat but I'm fairly sure there's enough room below the seats to store something decent like a side of beef or maybe a Volkswagen beetle. 4 hours ago, AMC RULES said: Don't make it too heavy for her to carry.

stevasaurus 22,764 #28 Posted October 28, 2021 Along with most of what was mentioned, I keep the tools to repair a tube less flat tire. I also keep a good punch and a boat trailer bearing or two (greased) incase I have to replace a bad wheel bearing. Black electrical tape. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tool kit would be for my 1986 F-250 and / or tractors while I was at events or looking at purchases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #33 Posted October 29, 2021 Let's see where do I begin...it would take me hours to type...my road toolbox is probably a little too comprehensive for ya All jokes aside though, in the other truck I carry a few of the common size wrenches and sockets that I use regularly, couple of ratchets, jumper cables, wire brush, pliers, couple screwdrivers, tire plug kit, small floor jack, assorted fuses and wire terminals, and the two most important tools in every vehicle I own are of course duct tape and baling wire 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,828 #34 Posted October 29, 2021 All joking not aside I have a few condoms in my kit. They come in handy for protecting trailer flat fours from corrosion. Put some dielectric grease in them and roll them on.....what they don't salt roads where you are at?!?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
