There are three items I have in my trunk which get more use than
anything else.  Listed in the order of highest use on down, they are;

1)  Tow rope or cable or chain-- very good for gettng people out of
    snowbanks, mudhols, etc.  (espicially if you have #2 on)

2)  Tire chains-- great for extra traction (needed when towing someone
    out of a ms on slick roads)

3)  Jumper cables

I also have flashlight, tools, spare belts, spare plugs, spare rotor, 
anti-freeze, sleeping bag (try keeping warm when your car is stuck in
a snowbank and you can't run it for fear of exhaust fumes), and first-
aid stuff.

I have found it is a pain to pack all this stuff.  Does anyone know of
a neat trunk organizer that can handle this stuff for a '74 Nova??
