Preventive maintainance

I just hit 85,000 miles on my truck that still has the original radiator, heater hoses and t-stat. in it. The hoses don't seem to be soft or overly stiff or cracked and of course I can't see the t-stat. Am I pushing my luck? The heater hoses at the firewall look almost as fun as the rear spark plugs to get at.
