Default 1989 Straight 6, Tune-Up Questions

So I just purchased a 1989 F150 with the straight 6. It's a one owner truck with on 72,000 original miles. He hasn't driven it much in the past years only a few times a month. I want to get a tune up on it, besides an oil change and air filter. What else should I get done or ask for?

Check for codes. Check other fluids, add injector cleaner (or have the cleaning professionally done), trans filter/fluid if it's an automatic. At 72K it is a great time to start keeping AT maintenance up. Check the date code on the tires. If more than 8 years old replace them regardless of how good they look.
