Default Question about my truck

How's it going.
Well, I bought my truck used at 100k miles, and I'm wondering what are some things I should possibly look for that might need to be replaced? Things I've noticed so far are just a filter, brakes and possibly shocks. Is there anything important I should take a look at?

lower ball joints, front/rear main seals, spark plugs/wires, belt, flush rad, replace stat, tie rods, wheel hubs, change power steering/trans/diff oils, check rad hoses and the list goes on and on

+1 on what weedahoe said

When buying a truck with that many miles and not knowing history of maintenance then I would be looking into every filter and fluid on truck an just work my way around

Yep, pretty much what weed said. I bought mine new but it's approaching 100k and I have recently done most of what is on his list or have plans to in the near future.

Can you please list the rest? I'm kidding. Sounds like good times are in the works.
