Picking it up tomorrow

So im picking up the 85 F150 tomorrow. At least i think its an 85....door stamp says 8/84 so im guessing it was 85 model right? It needs some attention, but runs great. Already have plugs, wires, cap and rotor, brake rotors, brake pads, and fuel filter, is there anything else on these rides that i should check/replace as preventive maintenance? Anyone used the Goodyear authority A/T's? I had decided on a different tires, but got to see a pair, and they didnt look too bad at all.

Don't forget transmission, transfer case, and differential fluids as well as all the engine fluids.

If they say "Wrangler" anywhere on them, run... Goodyears are notoriously pricey, and not particularly great for trucks. They don't ride, handle, stop, or wear very well. The best I've found are BFG AT TA KOs, but they aren't cheap, either.
