So...I now know what PMs are necessary right now:

1. Brake Fluid replacement (too much moisture) - put in stainless steel brake lines now? will stainless steel lines improve braking performance?
2. drive belts replaced (one missing!)
3. air conditioning recharged (for comfort's sake)
4. tune up (will do myself)
   1. spark plugs
   2. spark plug wires
   3. distributor rotor
   4. distributor cap
   5. new OEM air filter
5. PHH
6. front axle rebuild (will do on own in next two weeks, just have to find a 54mm hub socket)
7. address lack of regular service since ~45,000miles (now @106,000miles) = 90,000-mile maintenance
8. new tires or new suspension (tie)
   1. tires will come first if we identify that tires are reason the truck is not tracking straight
   2. there is a slight list to the right front corner - could be from the suspension and also why truck is not tracking straight

i'm doing it all in this order because the most important is safety - ie stopping and not falling apart at speed. next is MUCH needed PMs to get the truck's engine performance back into shape. then i can address fun stuff like tires and suspension.

feedback appreciated!
