Replacing heater core, anything else?

I got everything pulled out to replace the heater core that went out in my 79 F250 Crew. I am going to replace the heater core, evaporator core and blower motor while I have it all pulled out. Is there anything else that would be worth replacing while I have all of this disassembled? Any recommendations for replacing all of the old gaskets other than RTV? thanks!

You can use those adhesive foam strips from hardware stores. Check your blower motor resistor assy and replace or clean it as required. Those connections get hot and corrode.

How about the hoses to and from the heater core? Unless they are in really good shape it would be a lot funner to replace them now.
