Somewhat OT, you likely have sealed beams, but I carry a spare H4 bulb housing (headlight) (these are a great upgrade btw. Search busdepot.com) In part, I'd base my spare parts list on what the inspection report yielded. Add: new ignition switch. Useful regardless. Info for swapping it in for testing and possibly driving in archives. One of each bulb is plenty. Include a dash light bulb if possible. Poss. a PITA to replace if cluster foil in poor shape but night driving w/o a speedo light sucks. (OTOH, a GPS may do in that case) Bring safety stuff: road "triangles", etc. List of nearby repair shops. Check here: http://roadhaus.com/shops.php Neil.
