82 pickup general question

Hi all, I've got an '82 SR5 with about 100k on it, which I'm planning on taking on a road trip pretty soon. It runs just fine, but I was wondering if there are any parts I should replace that normally crap out around 100k, before I get on the road. In the last year I've replaced the starter, alternaterator, battery, hoses, belt, water pump, and thermostat. In the last four years or so, I've replaced the master and slave cylinders, and the front calibers. Should I think about replacing the fuel pump, too (no problems with it, to date), or will that last me for awhile longer? Also, I'm sure the truck has the original brake and fuel hoses; should I replace those too, or do they normally last more than 20 years?

I've heard people say that the timing chain should be replaced at 100k, but I've also heard not to worry about it if the oil was changed regularily. I'm pretty religious about changing the oil, and the previous owner (my grandpa) was too.

Thanks in advance. Basically, my goal is to keep the truck on the road as long as possible. Any advice in that regard would be much appreciated. Also, I thought I might have a mechanic look it over before I take off. Does anyone have any recommendations for a guy in the Seattle area?

Thanks,
Adam
