I guess they're the obvious, but...
Unless you know the maintenance history of the truck (and it was performed as required), I'd change out all of the fluids, engine, trans, differential(s), and transfer case (if 4x4) in addition to the coolant. Fresh lube in all of the grease fittings would be nice too. You may want to pull a plug or two and see what kind of shape they're in, and again, if you're not sure of the maintenance that was performed, a tune-up with new filters (gas, oil, fuel), PCV and such wouldn't hurt. Then at least you know what you've got.
