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
