Lug nuts.  Maybe whole wheels.  Antifreeze.  Gasoline (so long as we
stay this side of 1972 or so.)  Does Ford still use a different tranny
fluid than everyone else like they did in the seventies?

Are modern "power points" heat resistant enough to take an old
cigarette lighter?

Has the trailer ball hitch changed since WW2?  I realize that "hidden
hitch" sockets are a newer idea, but the old trailers can still be
"plugged in".  You might need an adapter for the lights on the
trailer.

The controls have stayed remarkably steady.  You've got the PRNDL
tranny setting, probably using a lever identical to the one thirty
years ago.  You've got the steering wheel and two pedals.

We are geeks.  Resistance is voltage over current.
