Welcome to the site. I've never turned wrenches on an A3 so I can't help there.

As far as contacts for support on the trip I'd use a new thread. You'll find that concise titles that get your point across without folks having to open the thread to read a rambling title will get more reads. I'd suggest a title something like "Sparta, WI to OH recovery help needed?"

If you use the search feature for queries like "M35A3 filter" you may get some info.

Good luck and again, welcome.

Welcome.

I did it in a 69 A2 "without" brakes." A little over 900 miles. I say, go for it if you know how to wrench.

P.S. It is cheaper to have it hauled.

It probably would be cheaper to haul. You will be at $500 in fuel alone. Take the cargo cover off if it has one, also note the insulated cab cover can be troublesome. I got a knife out at a rest stop and removed the liner. Little pieces of the insulation kept getting in my eyes.

Cheaper to haul, and safer to haul a truck you have zero idea the condition of.
