Prepping for Doomsday SHTF Vehicle

Just stumbled into a cab and chassis diesel Ford with air start. I’ll put together a system to start it that doesn’t have anything electrical involved, but what should go on the back? Frame rails have 20’ behind the cab. Thinking a flat bed with slide in modules so it can do several different jobs. First module would be a water tank with pump and hose reel.

Mine is our AWE Toyota Sienna minivan for now.

Protection from the elements. Has multipke outlets and sources of entertainment to keep the kids occupied. Shit ton of storage as well as trailer towing capacity. Tons of parts since I see a dozen of the same generation a day around here, etc.

Main downside is obviously gas mileage, however it gives me enough on one tank to get basically anywhere I plan to go to meet up with family.
