That's a lot of leaks for a truck with only 84,000 on the odometer. I'm wondering if the truck was wrecked, or if it sat unused for an extended period. It seems that one or the other must be true to induce so many leaks in so many places.

Well let's try to keep it wreck free and check and possibly change the main brake line running above the gas tank.
Just a heads up for you, they love to rust and fail.

That all depends on where you live. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I don't have a spot of rust on my '97

That would explain it. Vehicles that haven't moved tend to develop leaks. They also develop crud in the engine top end, rust pitting on engine bearing surfaces, sticky valves, rust on the portions of the ring/pinion gears that were not submerged in oil, decomposed automatic transmission clutches, and all kinds of dry seal problems like the ones you're seeing.
