Default what else to replace?

Ok so over the last 6 months I have been slowly working on my 1993 xlt (3.0 v6 5 speed 2wd, 170k miles), which didnt even turn over when she was towed into my driveway . So far to get her driving I have replaced:
  • new battery
  • fuel pump
  • clutch
  • master and slave cylinders
  • front and back brakes
  • tires
  • tranny and rear differntial fluid changed
What I'm wondering is what other parts commonly go bad around or upwards of my mileage that i can expect to replace and maybe just do ahead of time to keep her running for many miles?

Yep, whut he said^^plus ignition module up by the radiator, MAF sensor, IAC, filters (air, oil, fuel), thermostat, air intake hose is it is holey (check the underside for rot, holes). Then seafoam it...some in the tank, and do the intake application with the spray tube.

Just drive it, and fix anything that breaks. What you are asking for is what I call preventative repair. You are about as likely to remove a well functioning item and replace it with an inferior one, as to improve reliability. New parts are not proven and I have found many to be unreliable. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
