Before the wildfire took it away, I had a complete spare drivetrain for my 78 Blazer - engine/trans/transfer case/front and rear axles(housing and all) and driveshafts (two sets actually). As well as an extra door, hard top, and tailgate.

Now I only keep filters and fluids.

At one time my VW bus had a whole extra longblock, carb gasket kit, plugs, wires, cap/rotor and a fan belt.
