Yeah, it's kinda one of those "where do you stop?" type of things. This truck is used almost entirely around my property and sees maybe 100 miles a year on the highway. I'm confident there's all sorts of other things that need to be inspected and replaced, but it's just not really worth the effort or expense as long as it's still serviceable.
Unrelated side note, before I owned it this truck was used to backfill graves. The flatbed has a pto driven dump cylinder under it.
