i agree with too many. I would replace the valve cover gaskets. also if you are gonna be driving it around and stuff i would replace the spark plugs anyway..along with the wires and cap if need be. i am a major proponent of preventative maintinence, so i usually err on the side of too much replacing. i would definitely replace the plugs and the valve cover gasket. good luck, i hope that the free truck works out for ya.
