I'd like to suggest a few more things to carry. Insulated wire. baling wire, 
electrical tape, duct tape, wire ties, bungy cords,  various foam rubber chunks 
The foam rubber is to stuff in the places where cold air is coming through that 
you hadn't noticed before.(learned this in a 500 mile drive in a Spitfire in 
winter.) Colorado gets pretty cold.  

Also an old trucker's trick:cardboard in front of the radiator cuts the flow of 
air through it. If you are in very cold conditions the cooling system won't 
stay warm enough to give you very warm air through the heater.  Of course, keep 
a good eye on the temp gauge!  My 59 Volvo had a roller blind in front of the 
radiator that you could adjust from the drivers seat. Really nice.
