The space under the seats has heater hose, the old fan belt that was
replaced before it broke, a few feet of heavy wire, a couple of
adjustable wrenches and a socket set. Le Manual de Useless de Chilton
lurks somewhere under or behind the seat. Warning triangles behind the
seat, along with extra oil, PS fluid, etc. The glove compartment has
pliers, screwdrivers, a spool of small wire, fuses, lightbulbs,
flashlight, and gloves.

On the 1976 Ford truck with a 6, a bit of time spent forming strap or
heavy wire into racks could have resulted in a bunch of that stuff
stored under the hood - a straight six in a space build for a big-block
V8 left a lot of room for quarts of oil, gallons of antifreeze, etc...
On the 95, the crap attached to the poor little straight six fills
almost all the space under the hood - I pity folks with a big-block V8
in this era, as it must be shoehorned in like a box full of cobras.
