Things to check for?

So I'm going to go over to my father in law's today to change all the fluids - oil, trans, oil filter, trans filter, and grease everything, and do an overall check on everything on my '86 150 I got a week ago.

Just wondering if there is anything you guys would suggest in particular to check out/replace - it has 92900 k miles on it, and it's a 2wd xlt lariat. Anything at all would be helpful, as I am new to older fords.

Thanks!

and also I was wondering if it's okay to go ahead and put seafoam into the gas tank - it's an efi, but only 1 of my tanks is working (haven't looked into that yet, either.) The guy I bought it from said he replaced the front fuel tank and pump this year.

Sea foam isn't going to hurt anything, will help clean the injectors and the carbon build up on any of the internals!
