Did you have a good look at the inner and outer tie rod ends?

Rubber brake lines are 20 years old.

Accessory drive belt and tensioner
 
I have 180,000 miles on mine. I"ve done Fluids, lubricants, PCV, serpentine belt, alternator, water pump, rear brake shoes, front pads, rotors, and wheel bearings. There's no need to replace gaskets and seals unless they leak. So for I don't have any leaks. The transmission input shaft kept punching out the pilot bearing due to excessive end-play, so I had a bearing kit installed in it, along with the clutch. I have some excessive rotational play in the rear wheels that I will investigate in the next several weeks when I change the gear oil. From research online I think it may be the carrier gears, and I hope that is all it is because I can replace those myself without any special tools. This will be the first time I've had to do anything to a differential other than replace the fluid, so it will be a learning experience.
 
Suspension bushings (control arms, sway bar, ball joints etc)...both my trucks need all of that.
 
I flush out my brake fluid every couple of years. DOT 3 is hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs water. By the time the fluid is dark the water has started rusting things. If your brake hoses are original, replace them. I also tear my disc brakes apart, grind the rust off all the slide points and lube everything with Never Seize every year but I suspect you don't have road salt to contend with.
 
Yep fluids and lubes is key
 
Yeah did the tie rod ends about 80,000 miles. The reason I did the timing cover gasket and oil pan gasket was due to leaking. But I can't find my blinker fluid!;missingteeth;
